Reviewed By Soozee - Frosterley, United Kingdom
Tunstall is a lovely reservoir, very natural with a wood along one side, and it is an easy walk all the way around, although its is muddy in wet weather. On our last visit we walked to the nature reserve at the top end then across to Salter's Gate and up towards the dismantled railway line. It was a lovely walk, although incredibly muddy. We also had to skirt around a herd of cows. There is parking at Tunstall, although I suspect it is really for the fisherman, who have a club there. The toilets are sometimes open. I believe the car park has been closed owing to the current pandemic.

Weardale Open Air Swimming Pool is the only heated open air swimming pool in County Durham. It is located in Stanhope, Weardale . The relaxing environment provides the perfect backdrop to unwind with a rejuvenating swim, all nestled among the picturesque hills of Stanhope's surrounding countryside. The water is heated to a tropical 80+degrees Fahrenheit nearly 30 degrees centigrade, making it an enjoyable experience, come rain or shine! Why not come and see for yourself?
