About the route

Starting point




Durham
DL1 4WD

Starting from B&Q at Morton Park, this ride takes us in a westerly direction, following the cycle network through the north of Darlington, then out into the country lanes and our stopover at Medieval Ulnaby and the farm shop & café. The return route brings us through Piercebridge, then east through Manfield and Cleasby, before heading back into Darlington, through Blackwell village and past South Park on our return to B&Q.

This ride is classed as a STEADY ride which is around 20 miles (10 miles each way). The ride is undulating with some small hill climbs. The ride is all on the road or cycleways – 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.
