Birdwatching
The North Pennines area is ideal for birdwatchers. Birds frequenting the area include snipes, pied flycatchers and nuthatches. The Allen Banks walk mentioned above is a great place to catch some of these birds, as is the Blackton Reservoir trail.
North Pennines Centre
Hiking and cycling aren’t the only things you can do in the North Pennines. The fantastic north Pennines Centre also offers a great outdoor activities programme. This includes canoeing, geology and mining. Photography courses are also available so you can capture the great outdoors beautifully during your visits to the North Pennines. The centre is just up the river from Heather View and Kingfisher and is available to rent for conferences and eco-study retreats.
