Hart to Haswell Walkway towards Hesleden
Hart to Haswell Walkway towards Hesleden
Despite the name (which is the Haswell to Hart Countryside Walkway if you start at the other end), the OS Map designates this as a traffic free cycle route. Following the trackbed of a railway closed under the Beeching axe in 1964 (even earlier for passengers) it forms an easy, if monotonously level, route for non-motorised travel and is pleasantly free of gates and stiles. I should mention that it doesn't quite reach Haswell, and goes nowhere close to Hart.
