Northumberland is a magnificent county for walkers with so much to enjoy.

The National Park is home to the Cheviots range, a fantastic range of hills where the source and route of many rivers namely the Coquet, the Breamish and the College Burn flow through beautiful, tranquil valleys offering magnificent scenery. For more information try the Northumberland National Park Website

Also located within the county is Hadrians Wall and its associated Hadrians Wall Path National Trail which opened in 2003. This route follows the Wall and passes some of the most beautiful parts of England, stretching 84 miles from Bowness to Wallsend.

Stretches of the ‘St Cuthberts’ Way, which runs from Melrose to Lindisfarne Priory, and the Pennine Way which end in the Cheviot Hills at Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders, also pass through the county.

The North Sea Trail has recently opened starting in the Moray Firth in the north of Scotland passing through Northumberland before ending currently on the North York Moors.
The stretch within our county is well ‘signposted’ beginning in Berwick and ending at Cresswell Bay. For more information visit Northumberland Coast
