The completion to the alterations to the A66, which included the new Bridle Path leading to Greta Bridge through a tunnel under the road has made all of the local footpaths accessible.

Thorpe Farm Caravan Park has put together a leaflet that lists a selection of walks ranging from 1 to nearly 8 miles which start and finish at Thorpe Farm. This leaflet is available to guests on the site. The walks utilise the existing footpath network and take in some of the finest sites in the area including the banks of the River Greta and the meeting of the waters where the Greta joins the River Tees. South of Thorpe Farm is Barningham and the Moors above. This area is the start of the Yorkshire Dales. The views of Teesdale from the footpaths are stunning.

The new Bridle Path allows access to the side road network leading to Barnard Castle in County Durham to the West, Richmond to the East and the Yorkshire Dales to the South for the cyclists out there.
