Gibson’s Cave We make a (very worthwhile) detour to the left to Gibson’s Cave and Summerhill Fall. Afterwards, we cross back over the bridge and turn left into a larch forest, cross the main road, and find the continuation of our footpath slightly to the right there. © Sabine GilcherPhoto: Sabine Gilcher, Rother Bergverlag
In Teesdale, the variety of landscapes, large and small waterfalls, lush blooms, and the typical white houses of Teesdale, which provide contrasting accents to the rich green, compete for the attention of hikers. None other than Alfred Wainwright, the North English hiking pope, writes: »Nothing more scenically beautiful than this part of the valley will be met… this is a walk of near perfection«.
We walk from the parking lot up the narrow paved road branching off the main road to a farm where it turns into a field path that winds uphill in switchbacks. With a gentler slope, we then hike nearly 1 km over several pastures to an unmarked but clearly visible crossroads. There we turn right onto the tractor track. If one of the following gates is locked, we must skillfully climb the wall sideways. Afterwards, the path gently descends and goes straight past a farm driveway. After a right turn, we reach a paved road and continue straight down. We follow it through several curves until shortly before passing a row of old beeches, where we turn left to a farm. From here the field path first ascends slightly and then descends over several pastures separated by gates down to Bowlees. On the paved road there, we go straight over a bridge and take a (very worthwhile) detour to the left to Gibson’s Cave and Summerhill Fall. Then we return over the bridge and turn left into a larch wood,

Sabine Gilcher
Sabine Gilcher, Jahrgang 1962, wuchs im bayerischen Alpenvorland auf, mit einem Hochmoor direkt vor der Haustür, den Osterseen gleich um die Ecke und den Bergen immer in Sichtweite. Die Liebe zur Natur wurde daher früh geweckt und später im Studium der Landespflege vertieft. Heute lebt sie als Landschaftsplanerin in Freiburg im Breisgau. Ein Aufenthalt als Erntehelferin auf einem Bauernhof in Norwegen weckte die Liebe zu Skandinavien. Seit mehr als 30 Jahren bereist sie Europas Norden und Nordwesten und lässt sich jedes Mal von Neuem von den dortigen Landschaften faszinieren. Ihre Hobbys Wandern und Fotografieren sind die ideale Kombination zum Erstellen der Wanderführer für den Rother Bergverlag und das Wissen um ökologische Zusammenhänge kommt ihr sowohl im Gelände als auch beim Verfassen der Wanderführer sehr zustatten.
