Walking in Durham

Take a walk along the Tees Navigation

Walk through stirring landscapes along the awe-inspiring frontier of the Roman empire – the Hadrian’s Wall path. Long distance walkers are further inspired by the 270 mile Pennine Way but for those seeking less of a challenge, the River Wear Trail can be completed in one day and a multitude of waterside footpaths can be explored at your leisure.

Towpath Stoppages

04 Jan 2012 - 09 Mar 2012

Stoppage: Cosgrove Iron Trunk Aqueduct

Associated Regional Office: South East Waterways

Towpath has been closed

UPDATE (17 January 2012): The works to the aqueduct are now being carried out without dewatering the canal. However, boats being used by the contractor will be blocking the canal to navigation.
It is possible that limited passage may be possible, but British Waterways are unable to guarantee this.
For the purposes of journey planning please assume the canal is closed.
