Explorer Maps 306 - Middlesbrough & Hartlepool
This is a very "straightforward" walk, which
doesn't really need any maps.
The walk starts from Preston Park in Eagleesciffe and follows the Teesdale
Way from the Park to the Bowesfield Nature Reserve. Having walked round
the Reserve, the route returns to Preston Park then follows the riverside
footpath to Quarry Woods. The walk then reurns from Quarry Woods back
to Preston Park.
