A guidebook to The Teesdale Way which follows the River Tees for exactly 100 miles from its source near Dufton to its outlet at Middlesbrough on the north-east coast. The Way is divided into eight stages of moderate walking and takes up to a fortnight to complete. The route leads through varied country wild moorland and deep dales, many with dramatic waterfalls, gentle pastures and industrial towns.

This guide also includes a selection of 10 circular day walks based on and around the route, with footpaths through fine countryside flanking the river on both sides.
