Congratulations
You’ve found us!

The Weardale Railway
© Cube Creative Group
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 in St John’s
Chapel and Killhope Museum.
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 and woodland walks in the nearby
Hamsterley Forest or hire a bike from Durham Dales
Bike Hire in St John’s Chapel and take on some of the
country’s toughest climbs - including the highest road
in 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! Dine in style on the Weardale Railway or
return at Christmas to enjoy the Polar Express.

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 familyfriendly 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.
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.
