Blackton Reservoir is a beautiful stretch of water that is home to a great deal of wildlife. The area around the western end of the reservoir is protected as a nature reserve. Nearby, Hannah's Meadows has been designated as a site of special scientific interest due to them having many species of grass and herbs which are threatened elsewhere.

Barn Honesty Snack Stop

Highlight • Rest Area

Time to regenerate! Lovingly arranged here in the barn you will find what the hiker's heart needs to regain its strength. Among other things, refrigerator with various cold drinks, hot water, various snacks and protection from sun/rain. Very friendly owners, please write your name in their guestbook and leave a donation so that the commitment benefits as many people as possible :)

Tees Railway Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This former railway line, which roughly follows the route of the Tees river, is now a walking path where cyclists are also welcome. Along the way you regularly come across elements that refer to the past as a train track. From old railway tunnels and railway bridges to a former station passage halfway to Romaldkirk.

Although the gravel path is nice for cycling, it is not a path for fast cycling. You will have to regularly slow down for walkers on the narrow path and there are gates on the path that you have to open and close regularly. Truly a path for the connoisseur and party pacer.
