Easy Breezy Renny’s to Rainton Return

From outside the Gilesgate Moor Hotel, on Rennys Lane, we will cycle along NCN cyclepath to Sherburn where will join the road to Pittington and rejoin the NCN, following this to historic Houghton-le-Spring and Rainton Meadows visitor centre. We will cycle back through West Rainton and along the A690 cyclepath before cutting through Carrville Estate back to the start.

A lovely loop from Durham to Rainton Meadows nature reserve

Mainly off road, but with some riding on B roads in between cyclepaths

We will be stopping at Rainton Meadows visitor centre of coffee

Helmets are always advisable, as is clothing suitable for the weather. It is also very useful to bring along a spare inner tube that fits your bike wheel, a pump and tyre levers. We can do the rest!

First-timers welcome!
