Explore the Lanchester Valley Railway Path
Location: Brandon and Byshottles, County Durham
This out-and-back route starts near Broompark, following the Lanchester Valley Walk. Almost entirely off-road, the route uses a mix of former railway paths and well-surfaced trails, making it ideal for maintaining a steady pace. The gently undulating terrain provides easy, consistent running, while the green corridor offers a peaceful setting away from busy roads. After reaching the turnaround point, the route retraces the same path, making it an excellent choice for relaxed runs, tempo efforts or everyday training.
