Richly varied in terms of heritage, terrain, undulations and views. Quite a story to be told.
A coastal route start gives way to the peaceful exploration along Seaton Burn before a wagonway starts your journey home.
The route’s shape looks like a coal wagon! Fitting that it includes several wagonways sandwiched between your close to lakeside start and finish.
This magical and scenic, pencil-slim route along the Ouseburn is a heritage trail classic.
You’ll take a shine to this route. Myriad trails and an accessible climb to the route’s high point. It might be yours too!
