Hay Time Walk 3: Baldersdale

Hay Time Walk 3: Baldersdale

This short 6km walk in Baldersdale visits some of the most spectacular hay meadows in the North Pennines. It also passes close to Hury Reservoir, a popular site for over-wintering wildfowl such as mallard, teal, tufted duck and goosander. The best time to see the flowers is between April and August. Meadows are great for water voles as they favour stream sides with a wide range of flowering plants. The North Pennines is one of their last strongholds.

Start location: Starting from the small car park at Fiddler House (NY 971 189).
Terrain: Boggy ground, off-road sections, on-road sections.
