For those of you with dog we have recently planted the Teesdale Heritage Wood. This is a community woodland project, sponsored by the Forestry Commission and consists of 8 acres of native hard wood trees. The woodland walks are free and open to the public to explore at any time and are dog friendly! On a fine day you can see right up Teesdale.
With so many attractions and activities Thorpe Farm is the ideal choice for a day trip or a coffee and cake or a meal stop on your way across the A66.
