DH1 3SE

From outside Maiden Castle entrance we will cycle through the University grounds to join the A167 cycle path where we will cycle to North End and down along Framwellgate Peth and Sidegate to Crook Hall.
On the way back we will follow the riverbanks to return to Maiden Castle (free parking here)
Ideal if you wish to do the parkrun as well :)

An easy loop from Maiden Castle, Durham to Crook Hall for tea and scones returning via the river banks

All on cycle path around the river banks and city (there is a short stretch of cobbles)

We will stop at Crook Hall for tea and snacks so do please bring money for refreshments.

Helmets are always advisable, as is clothing suitable for the weather. It would also be helpful if you could bring along a spare inner tube suitable for your bike wheel. We can do the rest.

We especially welcome newbies!
