Walking in the Cheviot Hills

Cheviots from Breamish Valley © Simon FraserThe CheviotsThe Cheviot © Simon FraserThe CheviotsThe upland scenery of the Cheviot massif is second to none with the Cheviot itself rising to 815m (2,674ft).

Here you can explore some of the best-preserved prehistoric hillforts in Britain. Place names evoke a time long gone such as Yeavering Bell, Brough Law and Humbleton Hill. The walks allow you to use our range of self-guided leaflets. The Cheviots also provide some of the best upland stretches for walking along The Pennine Way, Britain's best-known National Trail and St Cuthbert's Way.

When planning your walks, you will find the OS 'Explorer' Map No. OL16 'The Cheviot Hills' or the Harvey 'Superwalker' Cheviot Hills map useful for this area. Visit our on-line shop to purchase your maps and guides before you visit.
