| Region | North Pennines AONB | | County/Area | Northumberland | | Author | Lou Johnson | | Length | 8.0 miles / 13 km | | Ascent | 850 feet / 258 metres | | Grade | moderate |

The moors between Weardale and Tynedale, although lacking in dramatic summits, do offer excellent walking. This undemanding route starts from the picturesque village of Blanchland in Derwentdale and climbs steadily onto the moors. Using tracks and paths the walk then crosses Blanchland Moor to the edge of Slaley Forest before returning across Bulbeck Common and Birkside Fell to the start.
