Teesdale Three Reservoirs Walk

Another taster route on the Pennine Way, this time up in Baldersdale along the three man made reservoirs. The route starts off along the Pennine Way, with the half-way point of the route roughly here, and up onto Cotherstone Moor. It then leaves the Pennine Way behind to walk along Hury and Blackton Reservoirs, before returning to the start at Balderhead Reservoir Dam
