Seasons

Any time of the year is a great time to walk in Northumberland, although when cold and cloaked in winter the lower level walks may be attractive.

Centres

Berwick-upon-Tweed, Lindisfarne, Wooler, Alnwick, Rothbury, Morpeth, Hexham, Allendale, Haltwhistle, Bellingham and many other villages.

Difficulty

Day and half-day walks of varying difficulty from easy to longer and remoter upland walks.

Must See

The Cheviot hills, the wild shoreline and Lindisfarne, the valleys of the northern Pennines; the area is the cradle of Christianity in northern England.

Northumberland is an extensive county with wide horizons, where space and solitude are in abundance and time is measured by the seasonal cycle. Choose from wild walking, craggy ascents, forest treks and gentle riverside strolls through hills and braes that have few equals. And if that is not enough, there are endless empty miles of sandy bays, rippling dunes and rocky points each bearing pages of Northumberland history. Mountains, moorland and sandy coast provide some of the finest walking in England, and without doubt the most secluded. The book comprises short walks generally between 4 and 26 miles, and also contains some long-distance walks passing through, finishing in, or contained within Northumberland.
