Training in Bishop Auckland

Three pools and a run of fight gyms.

Woodhouse Close Leisure Complex has three pools, a sauna and a weights room, and PureGym, OneGym, Grant's Gym and The Private Training Suite give you more gym floor. Fighters have a choice: Northern Fight Star Muay Thai, Silapa Muay Thai, Auckland Martial Arts Academy, SBG Bishop Auckland and West Auckland Boxing Club. Yoga with Lisa and Fitness & Pilates run classes, and there's rugby and golf too.

Auckland Castle is surrounded by about 800 acres of parkland, once the bishops' hunting ground and now open to the public, a good loop for a walk or run with someone. The Eleven Arches viaduct crosses the Wear 32 m up, and the station is where the Tees Valley Line becomes the Weardale Railway to Stanhope.
