A guide to walking The Reivers Way, through Northumberland, northern England, from Corbridge to Alnmouth for 150 miles (240km) through the wildest parts of Northumberland - the North Pennines, Hadrian’s Wall, Tynedale, Redesdale, the Simonside Hills, Coquetdale and the Cheviot Hills. Includes a national park, AONBs and a fine heritage coast.

Activities

walking, backpacking, trekking, bird-watching (Farne Islands)

Seasons

spring can be the most attractive time; in summer accommodation needs to be booked ahead but ferries will be running to the Farne Islands; weather is less reliable in the autumn; in winter some accommodation providers will be closed and walking may be harder (in deep snow or after prolonged rain)

Centres

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Corbridge, Rothbury, Bamburgh, Alnwick, Alnmouth

Difficulty

walking is straightforward but sometimes remote and not specifically waymarked so navigation skills are required; terrain is varied; the route is described in 9 day stages but experienced long-distance walkers could tackle it in a week

Must See

North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; Hadrian’s Wall; Northumberland National Park; Cheviot Hills; Northumberland Heritage Coast; Farne Islands; dramatic castles and wild, empty landscapes
