taken 2 years ago, near to Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England

The Weardale Way following Lumley Park Burn
The Weardale Way normally follows its river. But the Wear, to the north of here, enters the PROW-free Lambton Park. A route along the Wear may be possible at certain times of year using seasonal Permissive Footpaths Link

Weardale Way
A 77 mile route following the River Wear from the sea at the Lindisfarne Memorial, Sunderland to the headwaters in the east Pennines, keeping as close as is possible to the river. It visits Lumley Castle, Durham (where the Castle and Cathedral forms a World Heritage Site), Bishop Auckland and Stanhope. After Stanhope the Way makes a northward loop to Rookhope to take in part of a tributary, Rookhope Burn.
