DH1 3JU

This a wonderful route to get to see both the countryside and the city centre of Durham.
We will start the ride from Durham Rowing Club and head to High Shincliffe, from there we will take bridleways around Croxdale State that should take us to Hett Mill and Hett itself. From there we will cross Sunderland Bridge, pass Hollywell (one of my favourite places in Durham) and cycle Scripton road.
We will join the disused railway and pass Meadowfield and Broompark Picnic Area. From there we will take a few shortcuts through Durham City, to Prebends Bridge, pass the Durham Cathedral and head back to the Rowing Club.

A ride full of countryside scenery and historic features, all in the surroundings of Durham City

Bridleways, disused railway lines, countryside roads

We will stop for photos along the ride. Coffee stop will be at Rowing Club in Durham

Please bring helmets, suitable clothing for all weathers, snacks, water and most important spare tube.

We never leave anyone behind
