Three Rivers cycle route from Darlington to South Shields via Stockton, Hartlepool, Durham, Consett and Gateshead.
This page does not score safety or predict current conditions. Confirm legal access, closures, surfaces, traffic, weather and your own capability before riding.
Place and water records are joined to the representative route coordinate. Weather by date, route elevation, events, beaches and live bike-share are shown only after their geographic coverage passes the published readiness gate.
These figures describe a fixed area around one mapped coordinate. They do not measure the full route and they do not become a safety score.
0 final-2024 collision records involving at least one pedal cycle fall within 5 km straight-line of the representative coordinate.
No matching record in this radius does not mean the route is safe or incident-free.
U is about 0.9 km straight-line from the route coordinate.
Most held UK route geometries are representative points rather than complete ride lines. The collision radius and nearest traffic counter may cover different roads from the route itself. AADF is an estimated annual daily flow, not live traffic; these figures never produce a safe/unsafe label.
