Walk 6 - ​Cow Green & Cauldron Snout ​

Distance -  7.5 miles

Difficulty - More challenging / 3


Summary  - A chance to see this most spectacular waterfall from the bottom to the top.  A stroll through riverside meadows  soon becomes a narrow path below the dramatic  Falcon Clints to the bottom of the waterfall. From here the climb up alongside the falls requires care but the views are worth the effort is followed by a relaxing walk through the Nature Reserve  along the verge with wide reaching views the whole way.

 Walk 7 - ​Cow Green to High Cup Nick ​
Distance -   13 miles

Difficulty - More challenging / 3


Summary - Surely one of the most impressive and beautiful sights in English scenery, the view of High Cup Nick is the highlight of this walk. However  Maize Beck has its own beauty and there is also the rugged splendour of the rough moorland route to enjoy. Whilst the distance may suggest a more demanding rating than 3, the route is generally easy to follow and relatively undemanding in other respects.

Walk 8  - ​Cronkley Fell
Distance -  6.9 miles

Difficulty - More challenging / 3


Summary : The beautiful Cronkley Scar  stands from the River tees on the foreground and  against the backdrop of Meldon Hill and Mickle Fell. A short climb  alongside White Force brings you up to open moorland with views as far as the Cross Fell range, before the path drops back down to the River Tees. The return route follows the river through open pasture. ​

Walk 9 - ​ ​Great Stony Hill & Harwood
Distance -   6.1 miles

Difficulty - More challenging / 3


Summary - a walk combining the rough moorland and a series of ponds with the beautiful valley of Harwood Beck and its remains of a very different recent past. A short extension to the Trig Point of Great Stony Hill along the track add good views of Burnhope and Weardale to your walk.
