Waskerley Way

Highlight • Viewpoint

Waskerley Way C2C route.
Beautiful route passing through a varied
landscape; from urban fringe through to upland sheep farms and
then on to exposed heather moorland. Hownsgill Viaduct towers 46
metres above the tree canopy of Knitsley and High House Woods near
Lydgetts Junction. This is one of the most impressive railway structures in
the North East. From further up the Railway Path there are stunning views
across Smiddy Shaw, Waskerley and Hisehope reservoirs.
