Blanchland Moor and Pennypie House
Five miles and 230 metres of climbing in about two and a half hours, up the old carriers’ road to Pennypie House, out along the heather of Blanchland Moor and back down to the Derwent. Start at the free car park at the entrance to Blanchland village, about 30 spaces and the only parking there is. Big open moorland running for a dog that will come back, with burns to drink from and no traffic, but this is a managed grouse moor grazed by sheep where ground-nesting birds mean leads from March to July, and the National Park’s Take the Lead signage applies on the open ground.
