Wynyard Woodland Park

Wrap up and join us for a steady off-road ride along the old railway lines that once transported freight from Sunderland to Ports along the River Tees. Once we arrive at our picturesque midway point at Hurworth Burn Reservoir we will pause to take in the view and hopefully spot some birds. From here we head back to Wynyard Park via a nice forest track within Brierley Woods, with a stop at the Station House cafe to greet us at the end.

The ride is on well-surfaced gravel and forest tracks, so is ideal for mountain bikes or hybrid bikes. There are some short inclines on the way to Hurworth, but we'll be keeping a nice steady pace, leaving no-one behind. And then on the way home there will be a bit more free-wheeling fun!

It will be cold so please dress for the weather - you will need decent gloves, a buff and extra layers and remember to bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off.

For any queries please contact us at [email protected]. For any last minute cancellations on the day please text 07886813007 (note this phone is only for the day of the ride). If the weather is bad we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will endeavour to do so by 9am on the day.

We look forward to meeting you.
