The Weardale Way is a 125 km (78 mile) long-distance walking trail that visits many of the most dramatic and iconic locations in County Durham and Sunderland including the World Heritage Site of castle and cathedral at Durham. Using a diverse variety of tracks, paths and trails it follows the course of the River Wear as it flows for 72 miles from source to sea through an ever-changing landscape that before 1974 comprised the main part of the historic County Palatine of Durham. Nowadays most of the trail falls within County Durham, with the final twelve miles to the coast belonging to the City of Sunderland.
