Join us for a guided walk around the historic town of Middleton-in-Teesdale on Saturday 30th September 10am to 2:30pm. During the 19th Century Middleton-in-Teesdale housed the headquarters to the London Lead Company, one of the largest lead mining companies working in the North Pennines Ore Field. On this short walk we will explore which areas were formed by the company and how the town was shaped by the lead mining industry.

Saturday strolls are designed for anyone who may not feel confident accessing the outdoors or would like more advice about getting out walking, but anyone at any experience level is welcome to join. All ages are welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult and must be able to walk or be carried as the paths may not be suitable for pushchairs). Well behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome. The walks will be approximately 3 miles in length on mostly flat ground and with rest breaks along the way.

For each walk you will need to bring sturdy boots or shoes (walking boots or trainers with good grip are best), warm layers, and a waterproof jacket. You may also want to bring a drink and a snack.
