About the route

Starting point




Durham
DL1 4WD

Starting from outside B&Q at Morton Park, we'll ride out west towards Stockton-on-Tees, travelling through Long Newton, Elton, Hartburn, then the old railway lines and into Preston Park for our café stop. The return journey bring us back through Eaglescliffe and Urlay Nook, before joining up with Long Newton again on the way back to B&Q.

This ride is classed as a STEADY ride which is around 20 miles (around 10 miles each way). The ride is generally flat. There is a mix of terrains, riding on the road, cycleways and old railway lines – a hybrid-type bike is recommended, although all bike types are suitable. It is suitable for riders who are comfortable sustaining around 10mph avg. and can continually cycle for around 2 hours each way. The stopover is usually around 1 hour. Bear in mind these times are a guide and the ride can take longer.
