Brandon - Bishop Auckland Walk
Description
This is a nice easy cycling and walking path that follows a disused railway line from Brandon, near
Durham
to Bishop Auckland.
You will pass through the villages of Brancepeth and Willington, shortly before joining the River Wear for the final stretch into Bishop Auckland. There are fine views of the surrounding countryside and of the Newton Cap Viaduct just before entering Bishop Auckland.
The
Lanchester Valley Walk
and the
Deerness Valley Way
pass close to the trail.
