North Pennine Birdwalks 4:
The Chimneys and Dryburn Moor
(Allen Valleys)
This 2.4 mile (in total) walk epitomises much that is characteristic of the North Pennines National Landscape and UNESCO Global Geopark: high peaty moorland, the sweet melancholy call of the golden plover and the towering remains of chimneys from the area’s lead mining past. All this is surrounded by sweeping views of the dales and settlements below and can be reached without a strenuous climb!
Start location: Starting from a small road side lay-by (NY 807 531).
Terrain: Boggy ground and off-road sections.
There is car parking available.
