Blyth and Bedlington

Good reasons to get around
by foot, bike, bus or train
Bedlington and Blyth walking
and cycling network
For health
This map has been developed to help you travel
around Bedlington and Blyth by foot, bike and
public transport. Each grid on the map overleaf
represents an average 10 minutes’ walk or 4
minutes’ cycle ride, showing just how quick it is to
get around under your own steam. This map also
displays bus routes and stops to enable you to link
into journeys where you need to travel further afield.
Walking and cycling to work, the shops, or to visit
friends and family are great ways to fit regular
physical activity into your daily routine. As well as
getting you from A to B, regular walking and cycling
can help you burn calories, reduce cholesterol and
lower blood pressure. If you take the bus, walking
to the next bus stop along is a really simple way of
fitting a little more activity into your daily commute.

We all know that our environment is under threat
from the things we do. Cars currently make up 13%
of the UK’s total carbon dioxide emissions but on
average if you take a train or coach you’ll contribute
six to eight times less than this and, if you walk or
cycle… nothing at all! Fewer cars on the road also
means a safer environment for children and a more
pleasant place for everyone to enjoy.
For you
One of the best things about getting around under
your own steam is that it’s really cheap. There’s no
car tax to pay, no need for an MOT and you don’t
have to worry about petrol prices. If you walk or
cycle regularly you’ll save a fortune, so there’ll be
more cash to spend on fun things, like you!
Regular physical activity also helps improve your
mood, is good for your sense of well-being and can
help to improve your mood and boost self-esteem.
By letting someone else do the driving and taking
the bus or train, you’ll be able to spend more time
enjoying the journey, whether you’re listening to
music, reading a good book or having a chat with a
friend, you’ll be saving money and giving your own
vehicle a well-deserved rest.
Want to get around under
your own steam?
Sustrans can help
Visit www.sustrans.org.uk to find detailed travel
maps of your local area that include walking bus
stops, train stations and connections to local
destinations such as shops, schools, GP surgeries
and sports facilities. You can also plot your own
journeys to share with friends and family.
The Sustrans website also has some great tips if
you’re thinking about getting back on your bike or
would like to go cycling with your children. Take a
look at the easy rides section to find simple, safe
and enjoyable cycling routes in your area, or order
a free cycling information pack highlighting all the
National Cycle Network routes near you.
Both Bedlington and Blyth are home to a wealth
of amenities, leisure facilities, entertainment, retail
and history within easy reach on foot or by bike. A
network of easy routes has been created enabling
you to get around both towns on foot and by bike,
taking in parkland, woodland and a host of history
along the way. Enjoy the beautiful scenery along
the Blyth Estuary on your way to work, school, to
the shops or just out on a stroll or ride.
Local routes also link directly to the Coast and
Castles. A link to National Cycle Network Route
1 allows you to make journeys further south to
Newcastle and beyond, or north via Amble as far as
Edinburgh.
