A CIRCULAR walk has been launched to allow some of the region's most treasured parkland to be seen on one route.

A new leaflet, produced by Middlesbrough Borough Council and The National Trust, promotes the walk which links Stewart Park and Ormesby Hall.

The walk features beautiful views across parkland and woodland and the leaflet, which was launched yesterday describes the history and points of interest in the area.

Councillor Chris Robson, commissioner for culture and sport, said: "This is an exciting partnership between Middlesbrough council and the National Trust."

The walk is three miles long and the leaflet allows people to pick up the route at any point.

New steps and surfacing have been added to improve access along the route and signposts have also been constructed.
