A circular walk around and over Black Hambleton and the end of Arden Moor; described here in a clockwise direction but just as good in reverse.

It can be a little challenging in terms of navigation at the start but an alternative has been provided.

The reward at the end of this walk is Locke Park.

This section of the walk is urban and winds its way through industrial areas along the Tees and the villages which served them. The walk links two of the most iconic bridges in the area, the Transporter Bridge and the Newport Bridge. Along the walk you can see evidence of heavy industry both past and present. Most of the walk footpaths along the main roads so do be aware of traffic.
