B6294 between Blagill and Foreshield Bridge Isaac's Tea Trail is a 36 mile circular walk in the North Pennines named after Isaac Holden (c. 1805-57), an itinerant tea seller. Isaac became a familiar figure, out in all weathers, selling tea door to door to the farms, remote hamlets and mining communities scattered over the dales between Alston and Allendale Town. A pious man of humble origin, much involved in charitable work, he gained so much public respect that over 600 people contributed to his memorial.
