Mickleton Picnic Area

Easy to get to with quite a few parking spots. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside and a fairly easy walk along the old railway railway line (tracks removed!) to surrounding villages and towns.

A nice area to pause and take in the view mid-walk or make this place your start/finish point by taking advantage of the Free Parking Area. There are short walks along the old railway path in both directions to Middleton-in-Teesdale and Barnard Castle and, for those looking for a longer hike, the walk will take you all the way up to High Force and beyond. The choice is yours. It's location, on the edge of the pretty dales village of Mickleton where there are two public houses serving quality beers and gorgeous food plus a nearby children's playpark, makes this an ideal spot for a lovely day out. Public toilets are available at Mickleton Village Hall.

Nice walk along the old railway. Stayed here last night in my campervan. Very peaceful. On the edge of mickleton village. Very quaint. Enjoy.

Great car parking, level for motorhomes(local garage sells lpg) with nice walks in both directions.

Great car parking spot to access the Tees Valley Railway Walk.

It's a car park with a couple of tables but with wonderful views and a few walks.

Great peaceful area. Good underfoot and flat . Picnic benches and good parking but limited. No toilet facilities.
