Travel to the ramble area is by coach.
Travel Arrangements
The pick up points are:
The start: Busy Bees Nursery (used to be Vets4Pets), Newton Hall followed by:
Framwellgate Moor opposite the Coop on the corner of Dryburn View and High Carr Road

The coach begins to pick up at Vets4Pets, Newton Hall, usually at 9.00am but at 8.00am on journeys to the Lake District.
We are sorry that no dogs are allowed on the walks.
“Having joined in January ’23, I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year
with the group, taking in the scenery of County Durham, the
Northumberland coast, the Lakes and the North York Moors, to name but a few. While I have always enjoyed walking, the group has taken me to many new places, including some practically on the doorstep that I would not have otherwise known about. The coach is well organised and has the added bonus of giving the opportunity for a pint or 2 at the end of the walk. You will find the group to be most welcoming.”
Lindisfarne
“The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose.”- Charles Dickens
