Explore the Deerness Valley with New Brancepeth Loop
Location: Brandon and Byshottles, County Durham
This loop from Broompark Picnic Area follows the railway path before heading inland on a hilly loop through the surrounding countryside on road. The route climbs, descends and climbs again on quiet lanes towards New Brancepeth, providing the main elevation gain, before descending back towards the railway path. The return follows the traffic-free path back to Broompark, creating a varied run that combines a steady climb with flatter, runnable sections.
