Guisborough Active Travel Route

This Active Travel investment will address connectivity issues between Guisborough and other parts of Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough, which currently act as a barrier to growth.

A scheme which is being investigated and funded by the Tees Valley Combined Authority looks to join one end of the walkway to Nunthorpe and enable improved access to onward cycle routes into Middlesbrough, providing an opportunity to access the walkway from further afield and increasing the level of use. This will provide a safe alternative route and encourage active modes of travel with clear health and wellbeing benefits as a result, which will seek to address a number of the social deprivation challenges that prevail.

The Active Travel Route will also increase accessibility to other outdoor attractions in the area including the Guisborough Forest Walkway and North York Moors National Park, encouraging the use of these spaces and generating associated health and wellbeing benefits.
