Tanfield's trail network follows the original railway earthworks into mixed woodland, open field edges and the wooded gorge of the Causey Burn. Proper trail running terrain within easy reach of the north-east.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Distance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShort Route: approx. 5 km\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single loop starting and finishing at East Tanfield Station. The route drops into the Causey Burn valley, follows the streamside path through the woodland and climbs back out via the original railway embankment. Technical underfoot in the valley sections. Expect tree roots, stone and narrow path. The overall elevation gain is manageable for a runner who trains regularly. Trail shoes are required; road shoes are not suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLong Route: approx. 10 km\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long route completes the short loop before continuing north along the ridge and dropping back through a second valley system. The additional section introduces open bridleway running, a second significant descent and a longer sustained climb. Cumulatively this is a demanding run. Runners should be comfortable with back-to-back climbs and variable underfoot conditions. Mandatory kit applies to the long route.
