Hay Time Walk 1: Allendale

Walking

Take a 2 hour walk around South Wooley Farm in Allendale and get close to one of the world’s rarest and most endangered habitats: species-rich upland hay meadows. There are only about 11 square kilometres of upland hay meadows left in the whole of the UK. Just under half of these are here in the North Pennines National Landscape and UNESCO Global Geopark. This 5km walk takes you along country lanes and public footpaths through, or alongside, several hay meadows on the farm. Please keep to the paths, leave gates as you find them and keep dogs under close control, preferably on a short lead.

Start location: Starting from the car park in Allendale Town (NY 837 558).

Terrain: Boggy ground, off-road sections, on-road sections.

There is car parking, public transport, a café, a shop, a playground, a pub and toilets available.
