*Castle Eden Dene National Nature Reserve
'Located on the edge of Durham’s urban fringe, Castle Eden Dene is home to an extraordinary variety of birds, more than 450 species of plants, and some of our favourite mammals, such as roe deer and fox. The Reserve is a magical place full of legend and folklore, which has been left to spread and sprawl through this deep gorge for over 10,000 years. It’s now the largest area of semi-natural woodland in north-east England and is famous for its majestic yew trees and fantastic stands of ancient oak and ash.'
Walking the Dene 'The Dene is a wild world of constant change, where severe weather can cause landslips and falling trees. It is therefore not advisable to visit during severe weather. There are some very steep drops, so please keep to the footpaths. Paths can sometimes be slippery, therefore sturdy, sensible footwear is essential. Although the Dene itself is not suitable for wheelchairs, Natural England has opened a new, short, easy access path that leaves from the main car park near Oakerside Dene Lodge.'
