Lanchester Valley Path

Highlight • Trail

Stretching for 20 miles (32 km) through the countryside, Lanchester Valley Path is perfect for cycling and hiking. The path follows the old Lanchester Valley railway line which ran from 1862 until 1965. Trains once carried iron to Consett steelworks and coal from Langley Park along this route.

You should be able to spot old station houses, platforms and historical ruins en route. There's also plenty of benches and picnic areas.
