Northumberland Coast Path

The Northumberland Coast Path follows this stunningly beautiful coastline for 100 kilometres (60 Miles) from Cresswell in the south to Berwick-upon-Tweed in the north. Alongside sandy beaches, over rocky headlands, past dramatic castles and through attractive coastal villages, the Northumberland Coast Path offers a constantly changing landscape which is a pleasure to explore.

Reviewed By rachelp822 - Grimsby, United Kingdom

A lovely walk along a well preserved section of Hadrians Wall. It is a bit up and down with some steep inclines and some sections with steps up. Gives great views across Northumberland

Cheviot Hills

Reviewed By Wez67 - Penistone, United Kingdom

Windy Gyle lived up to it’s name, pretty good walk not to challenging and decent views. The next day Hedgehope was 55mile/hr winds so that was really challenging. Didn’t want to stay long at the top holding onto the trig point. The next day the weather calmed and we did The Cheviot via the long walk up the valley, great views and I’d recommend the valley route which is Langleeford up to Cairn Hill then up onto the Cheviot itself????

The Lowry Trail

Reviewed By DonaldQuackers

Our first visit to Berwick and we had no idea Lowry had been taken by the town/river/people and that he visited so often. The tourist boards at the various places along the walk where he painted the views display his works.

Rothbury Riverside Walk

Reviewed By JoyinAlvecote - Ao Nang, Thailand

We had a big lunch in Rothbury and we were recommended this walk as an aid to digestion! Absolutely stunning walk in both directions and very safe too. We headed out of Rothbury first towards Thropton along the river and then across a field on a public footpath. I would say in total a one hour walk as a round trip. Very enjoyable on a sunny day!
