Wolsingham walk leaflets

We have produced a number of walk leaflets for you to try out. Each walk starts from Wolsingham and has been created and tested by local walkers. All the walks are easy to moderate, and the family walk is fully accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Our leaflets can be found in many outlets in and around Wolsingham aswell as libraries in Wolsingham, Crook, Bishop Auckland and Durham City.
You can also print off a copy below.
