| Walk No.2 - From Moor Road to Hedley Fell - page 3 of 3 | |
| The path now joins a metalled road where you turn left for a pleasant stroll along firmer ground (5). There is some magnificent scenery to view. To the north you can see the hills and valleys leading up to the Cheviots. To the south lie Ebchester, Blackhall Mill and the beginnings of County Durham. | |
| After about half a mile you reach Currock Hill Farm. A few yards further on turn left and follow the track to begin the return journey (6). To the older residents of the district this track is known as Engine Road, a reminder of the mining activities of bygone years. | |
| The going is now easy, the track leads downhill past the entrance to the Gliding Club, then
past Dukeshagg Farm (7). After the farm, the route is a metalled road leading downhill.
Dukeshagg Wood is on the right and you can see Durham Riding across the fields to the left.
Continuing downhill on Moor Road you will arrive back at Surtees’ Bridge (1). | |
