Tunstall Reservoir and to the East — 8.5 km Running Route

Explore the Tunstall Reservoir Loop, an 8.5km route beginning near Wolsingham, County Durham. This scenic trail offers a varied running experience with a 165m ascent, taking you away from the reservoir on a hilly climb before levelling out on sections of a former railway path. The route predominantly follows tracks and grassy trails, so expect some potentially heavy going underfoot, particularly after rain.

This circular run is ideal for those seeking a challenging and picturesque outing in the North East. Return via Sand Edge, enjoying views before a descent back towards the reservoir. It's a great option for training runs with varied terrain or for runners looking to discover the beautiful landscapes around Wolsingham.
