At 15K this was one of the longer walks, but not too far away for Tiggy to travel, just a little oop North near Wingate. Parking at Hurworth Burn Railway Path Car Park it was a clockwise loop through fields and along tracks, passing through Cole Hill Farm and visiting Crookfoot Reservoir.
Leave the car park and follow the Castle Eden Walkway South for a short distance, turn off left, following a gravel track between Murton Hall Farm and East Murton Farm.
Most of the route was well signposted and easy to follow…
Some routes were a little more…tricky…
And some, not so tricky…
Tricky or not it was worth it for the views. This one was at the most Easterly part of the hike by Winterly Hill Plantation.
And these of Crookfoot Reservoir.
A couple more pics I took along the way as I headed west through more fields.
A few friends we made along the way.
Travelling through more fields and past the Medieval Village of EMbleton until you get back to the Castle Eden Walkway. Tunr right, heading north following the walkway in part, but where possible we took a more cross country route until we got back to Tiggy.
