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.

Situated in the village of Wolsingham, the Bay Horse Hotel is a converted 19th century farmhouse. The bar is stunning, warm, comfortable, and inviting. The restaurant is small and quaint, giving the option of an intimate diner for two, or as a party. The rooms are pleasantly decorated and en suite. However, there are a lot of stairs so would not be suitable to some. We spent four nights here, and it felt like family. Staying in room two, we had access to the front balcony. The views from this are great. Taking in a beck, bridge, stone cottages and rolling hillsides, it is an ideal place to while away a few hours with a nice glass of wine. Our hosts, Amanda and Rob, were amazing. Friendly and welcoming, they made us feel at home. As we were the only guests mid-week, they allowed us a good lie-in and made breakfast when we went down, rather than a strict timetable. They had great local knowledge on good walks, attractions and events. They could not do enough for us, even offering a fleece blanket so we could enjoy the balcony one cooler evening. Bed and Breakfast starts at around £50; meals are around £10. A well-stocked bar has a wide variety of drinks, beer and such is from Cameron’s Brewery. The Bay Horse is perfect for a drink, meal or short stay. For walkers, it’s ideally sited for access to Weardale. With only a short stroll to the high street, it’s a great place to forget it all, relax, and enjoy some fresh air.

This is a brilliant traditional pub right in the middle of Wolsingham village. There is a very friendly atmosphere, a good selection of beers and spirits, and a very friendly pub cat too. Although we didn't eat here, we were told there are theme nights (curry etc) and these are hugely popular and need to be booked via the pubs Facebook page. There is a TV for sports fans but this does not interfere with the quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are polite and friendly and make you feel very welcome. Overall a very positive experience and a pub I would definitely go back to.
