Belford to St. Cuthbert’s Cave; a picturesque walk to
St Cuthbert’s Cave - the cave where the monks of
Lindisfarne are said to have brought the body of St
Cuthbert in 875AD as they fled from the Viking raids on
Lindisfarne.
Hepburn Crag and Ros Castle; woods, moors, hills,
views of 7 castles and wild white cattle to be spotted
from the top.
Burnmouth to St. Abbs Head; this is a spectacular
walk on the Scottish Coast. High cliffs along a dramatic
coastline make this an excellent walk. St. Abbs is a
renowned National Nature Reserve and it’s a wonderful
place to discover and explore. We catch a bus back to
our start point in Burnmouth.
Beadnell to Low Newton; the bays, inlets, dunes and
headlands on this section of the coast are a delight to
explore. Some spectacular views make for a cracking
walk on the Northumberland coast.
The Pilgrim’s Way to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne;
we walk across the sea from the mainland on the ancient
Pilgrims’ Way to Lindisfarne. Once there we explore the
east and north coast of the island and then return on foot
the way we came.
The Pennine Way from Kirk Yetholm to The Schil;
The Pennine Way is 50 years old in 2015 and the
northern section is as good as it gets. We follow the high
path south to The Schil and then take the easier low path
back to our starting point in Kirk Yetholm.
Eglingham and Bewick Moor; we follow moorland
paths to Blawearie Farm, a deserted and romantic ruin
high up on the moor. A great walk to see birds of prey.
Bamburgh to Budle Bay; a lovely coast walk with
fabulous views across Budle Bay, the Farne Islands and
Bamburgh Castle.
The Simonside Hills and Rothbury; we walk this
wonderful ridge high above the Coquet Valley, then drop
down to cross the River and follow paths back to
Rothbury with some great views of Simonside.
We have no Footsteps guided walks between
11th and 21st September
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne; we walk across the sea
from the mainland on the ancient Pilgrims’ Way to
Lindisfarne. Once there we explore the island and return
to the mainland the same way we arrived, along the
Pilgrim’s Way.
