Eden Valley

Bearing around Beacon Hill in low gears initially, you will enter and traverse the broad undulating valley of the River Eden to the edge of the North Pennines. This peaceful landscape is dotted with small red sandstone villages and crystal clear becks which flow through woodlands, meadows and moorland. And there are plenty of places to keep you fed and watered
