Easter is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and embrace the great outdoors – and there's no better place to do it than in County Durham. With spring in full bloom and (hopefully) brighter weather continuing, it's a brilliant opportunity to explore some of the region's most scenic routes. Whether you're after riverside rambles, heritage trails, or peaceful woodland paths, County Durham has it all. We've rounded up five of the best walks to enjoy over Easter, ideal for families, solo explorers, or a relaxed bank holiday stroll. Distance: 7.2km (one way) Time: Approx. 1 hr 44 mins Start: Car park off A688, Bishop Auckland This former railway line offers a peaceful, easy-going walk through the countryside, perfect for a springtime stretch of the legs. The route follows a straight track beyond Coundon Station and towards Spennymoor, taking in open fields, hedgerows, and glimpses of local wildlife. Be mindful – if we've had Easter showers, the path can get muddy, so bring suitable footwear. Here is the full route. Distance: 7.2km (circular) Time: Approx. 1 hr 38 mins Start: Hardwick Park car park, near Sedgefield A wonderful Easter walk for all ages, this route takes you through landscaped parkland, across the River Skerne, and through wooded trails bursting with spring growth. The highlight is Hardwick Hall's gardens – perfect for a picnic or even an Easter egg hunt with the kids. This walk is best enjoyed from April to July, making Easter a sweet spot for visiting.
