Stockton - Stockton Active Travel
Stockton Active Travel runs a variety of walking and cycling activities throughout the Stockton area. The project is based at The Hub in central Stockton, a dedicated one-stop resource centre providing volunteering opportunities, training, information and outreach services to give people the skills and equipment that they need to walk and cycle more often.
Activities and events
Bike parking and loan
The Hub provides free, safe and secure bike storage for people of all ages travelling into Stockton, including lockers and changing rooms. Bikes are also available for loan.

Guided walks and cycle rides
The Teesdale Business Park Nordic Walking Group runs regular guided walks every Monday lunchtime from 12:00-1:00. Walks set off from outside George Stevenson House and interest is high, so if you would like to join please contact us to book a place.
