A Warm Weardale Welcome
in any language.
Lying high in the North Pennines, Weardale is a twenty mile ribbon of river and road
bringing you along tranquil lanes, past tumbling rivers and waterfalls, through vibrant
communities, over high moorland expanses and within touching distance of the rarest
wildlife, all through a landscape forged by man’s centuries’ old battles with nature.
A great place to find out about the area is the Durham Dales Centre in Stanhope – with
its tearooms, gift and craft shops it’s perfect for a leisurely afternoon; or 10 minutes up
the road to the Upper Weardale Visitor Information Points inside Chatterbox Café (St
John’s Chapel) or continue on to Killhope Lead Mining Museum (beyond Cowshill).
Enjoy the outdoors
Weardale is a special part of the North Pennines, a place where you can stretch your
legs, spread your wings and explore one of our finest landscapes. This is perfect
country for walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing, and wildlife watching. Whether you’re
looking for riverside wanders or more challenging routes you’ll be spoilt for choice!
You’ll find traffic-free family cycling, mountain biking, woodland walks, the Gruffalo and
Stick Man in the nearby Hamsterley Forest. Hire a bike in St John’s Chapel and take
on some of the country’s toughest climbs - including the highest road across the Roof
of England.
You can even enjoy a dip in the heated Weardale Open Air Swimming Pool in Stanhope,
play a round at Crook Golf Club or strap on your skis and indulge in some winter sports
at the Weardale Ski Club – snow permitting! Explore the countryside on the Weardale
image Michael Young
& South Tynedale Railways or return at Christmas to enjoy the Polar Express.
People and places
Weardale has a distinctive character, with attractive settlements to explore, such
as Stanhope, Rookhope, Wolsingham and St. John’s Chapel, while in nearby
Derwentdale is the picturesque conservation village of Blanchland and the lovely
hamlet of Hunstanworth.
The area’s rich industrial heritage can be seen in the remains of our lead mining past,
and you can see how the miners lived and worked on a visit to family-friendly Killhope,
the North of England Lead Mining Museum. Don’t forget to stop off at the fascinating
Weardale Museum in Ireshopeburn, where you can see the Weardale Tapestry and
marvel at the historic High House Chapel. Enjoy ‘Kynren’ the epic tale of England
played out as a pageant at Bishop Auckland’s Eleven Arches.
A great way to get to grips with the rural way of life is to join the locals at one of the
many agricultural shows in August and September.

Plants and animals
Wildlife thrives in Weardale and the wider North Pennines - red squirrels (which can
be seen on the squirrel trail at Killhope Museum), otters, black grouse and thousands
of breeding wading birds can all be found here. In late spring and early summer our
glorious traditional hay meadows are awash with colourful wildflowers whilst in August
the moors burst into purple splendour as the heather blooms.

Beneath your feet ...
The rocks and landscapes of Weardale and the North Pennines have amazing stories
to tell, of moving continents and tropical seas, of molten rock and ice sheets, of minerals
and the men that mined them.
As well as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the North Pennines is also a
UNESCO Global Geopark – an accolade which officially recognises the area’s world
class geological heritage.
Above your head ...
The North Pennines has some of the darkest skies in the country where you can see
1000s of stars on clear nights, so it’s the perfect place for stargazing. Here, you are
away from busy towns and cities where there is lots of light spillage which creates that
familiar orange glow and blocks out the stars.
Stay awhile
One day won’t be enough, so why not stay for several? You’ll find a wide variety of
accommodation to suit all tastes.
