A fairly undemanding walk, starting out from Wolsingham and making for Frosterley using the Weardale Way up on to moors to the South of the River Wear. The walk returns to Wolsingham mostly along the banks of the River Wear.
One climb at the beginning of the walk, but not too steep.
Use made of minor roads and farm tracks, with some footpaths along the River Wear which might be muddy in wet weather.
