The maps used for the walking routes in this guidebook are extracts from the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Landranger Series, which covers County Durham in five sheets. The relevant sheet numbers are 87, 88, 91, 92 and 93. The Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer Series offers much greater detail, and shows the extent of open access. The relevant sheet numbers are OL19, OL31, 305, 306 and 308.

A simplified diagrammatic sketch map shows the ten inter-linked railway paths towards the end of the guidebook. Detailed cycle route maps can be obtained from Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity, www.sustrans.org.uk.
