How to find Us
The skiing
facilities of the club are situated on the edge of the village of
Allenheads, an ancient lead mining centre in the North Pennines. Access
to the village is via the B6295 road from Allendale Town and Hexham - an
excellent road which is kept clear of snow in all but the most severe of
weather. See the map below.
The village can also be reached from Weardale via the B6295 or from
Rookhope or the Derwent Valley via a minor road. Whilst this access is
easy during good weather, these roads can be closed by heavy snow and
have been known, during very severe winters, to be blocked for weeks on end.
There is car parking on the road between the skiing area and
the village, with more parking in the village itself and another car
park one hundred metres up the hill
beside the field.
But please carry a
shovel - if there is more than about 10 cms of snow you will
have to dig a car parking space.
