Why it's Wildland

5.3

A riverside path follows the winding Tees from Low Coniscliffe towards High Coniscliffe, before turning back across farm fields.

A practical way to experience a quieter stretch of the Tees, with a riverside section and open farmland in one circular walk. Its appeal is the landscape and the satisfying loop rather than a single landmark.
