Chester-le-Street to Herrington Country Park

The route takes us through Chester-le-Street, Washington and then on to Herrington Country Park for a break with a coffee, etc. before returning by the same route to Chester-le-Street. The route is mainly off-road along the Consett to Sunderland Railway Path with only a small amount of on-road cycling on B roads to access the railway path at Chester-le-Street and the cafe at Herrington Country Park. The ride is suitable for those wanting a little bit more of a challenge as there's a slight climb out of Chester-le-Street before joining the railway path as well across Penshaw. Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather and bring along a drink, some money for our cafe stop, a spare inner tube and a pump. We look forward to meeting and cycling with you.
