Weardale is our escape; where my hubby and I feel free. A Nature Reserve as far as the eye can see with wildlife. Today i photographed rabbits by their burrows in Rookhope.
As I need to use a wheelchair ♿️ hiking unfortunately unable to do. My/our happiness is beginning in Shotley Bridge to Stanhope,which is a lovely place for shops &the Pennine surrounding.
Rookhope is our favourite,remote and in a valley upon a valley; we go off road to the peak on top & the views are amazing.
We go to Allenheads (Hexham) back in Weardale on route via cowshill, St Peters chapel to Stanhope and Walsingham.
We stop off at different places on our route.
I haven't been in the dales centre yet,it has an information centre and a cafe.
Still a wonderful day on october 4th.

Weardale is a beautiful area,and much easier to drive about,as the roads are much quieter than many areas.
Great pubs,cafes and local shops.
