Great Aycliffe Way

About

The original route of the Great Aycliffe Way was compiled in 1998 to commemorate 50 years since the designation of the new town of Newton Aycliffe.  A second route was added to the South of the original in 2008 to take the rest of the residential area of the new town. 

Altogether the route forms a figure of eight which allows the user various options for a pleasant walk in the Countryside.  The Northern route is 5 and a half miles and the southern route is just over 4 miles.  The outer ring route is 8 miles if the whole route is walked. 

Most of the routes are accessible to both pushchairs & wheelchairs with only a few gentle slopes, although some areas can become slightly muddy after people of heavy rain.
