Cycling 3 Railway Trails – Lanchester Valley Way, Bishop Auckland to Durham Way & Auckland Way

Описание: Join us for an epic 49-mile cycling adventure across three of County Durham’s most scenic railway trails! 🚆✨

In this ride, we link together:
The Lanchester Valley Way – a peaceful route through woodland and open countryside following the old Consett to Durham railway line.
The Bishop Auckland to Durham Railway Path – a rolling trail packed with history, sweeping views, and classic North East landscapes.
The Auckland Way – a tranquil finish through green valleys and quiet paths into Bishop Auckland before we loop back to the Bishop Auckland to Durham railway Path and head back to Consett.

Along the way, we tackle everything from gravel tracks to smooth tarmac, enjoy stunning views, and explore charming villages along the former railways that once powered the region.
