Mid-Tyne Walks

The Mid Tyne Community Trust has produced a series of 10 self-guided walk leaflets based on the villages of the Mid Tyne area. There are 18 walks in total and they are available to download free here or you can find copies at local tourist information centres.

All the walks have been identified by local people, and are between a mile and four miles in length. Most are suitable for families. The walks start and finish in the Mid Tyne villages and take visitors out around the beautiful local countryside.

Two Walks around Stonehaugh

These two walks make a great family outing - why not do both in a day, with a lunch stop at Warks Burn picnic place? The longer one takes in some dramatic scenery, whilst the shorter one follows a series of very pretty, low waterfalls.
