Trail Guides: County Durham Walks - Hamsterley Forest
Part of the North East Walker Series
Hamsterley Forest, the largest wooded area in County Durham. Lying betwen the Wear and Tees valleys on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this forest has 2,000 hectares of mixed broadleaf and coniferous woodland.
There are walks along traffic-free forest roads, soft pine needle covered paths among the trees and strenuous moorland trails. From "mild to wild" the forest has something for everybody. These routes both in and around the forest will enable every walker to experience the natural wonder and joys that this area holds.
