Licensed and convivial, Bee Cottage is one of the favoured watering holes of seasoned C2Cers and lies on a bend in the Waskerley Way just beyond Park Head Plantation. It is on the edge of a pretty little coppice and a couple of miles before the A68 at Castleside.

Terry & Lorraine worked for Sustrans for many years during the conception of the C2C route. Parkhead Station is specifically designed for cyclists and walkers, renowned within the cycling fraternity and certainly the place to be on the C2C & downhill all the way to the coast! Good home cooked food, licensed, tranquil location, drying room, secure bicycle storage, exceptional service to accommodate individual needs. Take the opportunity to call in and meet us for a well earned break at mile point 100 in our Tea Rooms and experience it for yourself; or book into one of our comfortable rooms, all of which command great views over the North Pennines moorland. Take a virtual tour on the website which also has online booking.
