New for 2019 Covering an approximate distance of 1.5 miles and a moderate 50 mins walk, The Norman Cornish Trail allows you to follow in the artist's footsteps and identify the locations of many of his most iconic works. The trail is an experience that takes you back in time - back to a time when coal was once the life blood of industry here in Spennymoor and a key part of community life.

We consider ourselves extremely lucky to live near such a lovely coastline and Indeed being able to walk here during lockdown kept us sane. We are particular fans of the coast around seaham - Whether you visit noses’s point, vane tempest or seaham hall the scenery is stunning! We also love to look for sea glass too Have travelled the world and would struggle to name a more beautiful coastline Unlike other coastal areas parking is free too and the beaches are rarely crowded.

We visited the bridge first, by parkingg in The George pub car park, climbing the wall ( style type thing) and following the path. The first t8me we went, official cleaners from a firm dealing with government antiquities were brushing the walls . It was a lovely sunny day, and only we were there. There is nothing but the stones and a sense of history, and some informative plaques to read. Nevertheless I felt a real sense of history. On another day we visited the Fort, again, only walls and plaques, but a tremendous felling of what had been there so many years ago. I’d love to go if they had any re-enactments , but again, a great sense of history. There are a few tea rooms and pubs in the locality to visit, which are very good.

Rarely is a wonderful historic woodland available so close to a city centre. Home to many species of wildlife, Great High Wood has probably been here for 800 years. There are many oaks and beech trees and the bluebells were already coming out for our visit in April. The site is owned by the university but there don't seem to be any restrictions on walking.
