Report

I walked this route in May in the direction Middlesbrough to Stockton and found it to be wheel-friendly across the whole route apart from the final bridge (pic 13) which may be tricky for independent wheeled users.
I started in Middlesbrough close to the Town Hall (pic 1). The route is easy follow on roads and all of the intersections are safe with signalled crossings. As you approach the A66 Newport junction alongside the motor dealership (pic 2), bear right and the path follows a network of underpasses under the junction. The proposed route takes you up Ironmasters Road (pic 3) and indicates a way down to the cycle path below. There is no way down and so continue along Ironmasters Road going right at the roundabout (pic 4). 300 yards on your right you can join the cycle way and head South West back towards the Tees Newport Bridge (pic 5).
The Tees Newport bridge can be approached by a ramp (pic 6) on both sides so wheeled users are able to travel the route using that approach. A quicker route is to use flight of stairs on the south side and then as you cross use the flight of stairs on the north side to get back down onto the marked path.
The route then follows a well-made up, tarmac path in the direction of Stockton and goes under the A19 (pic 7).
As you approach the Tees Barrage the path takes a hard right (pic 8) above the canoe slalom course (pic 9).
Follow the path round the natural bowl and then drop down on to main path to follow it under the barrage bridge (pic 10).
As you pass under the Tees Barrage bridge bear right and then quickly follow the path to the left following it down in front of the visitor centre and cafe (pic 11). You are now on the North shore path heading towards Stockton. The path is well made up with street lights and a hard tarmac shared use path.
Pass under the next bridge by bearing left (pic 12), following the sign for town centre then follow the blue railing along the edge of the river until you arrive at the footbridge that crosses the A1046 Riverside Road over the footbridge (pic 13) and straight on for the town centre (pic 14).
An excellent route between the two town centres with less 20% on roads – the rest being flat paths mainly along the riverside. Highly recommended route.
