Guided Walks
We host guided walks around Wolsingham and the surrounding area on the second Saturday and last Thursday of every month. All welcome, and walks are free to join (bus fare may be required for Thursday walks). Meet us in Wolsingham Market Place, 10.00am.
New for 2018, we also lead guided walks starting from different parts of Weardale and the North Pennines. These walks are a little more strenuous and are held on the final Sunday of every month.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, but be aware that we often encounter livestock on our walks. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
