Rothbury Riverside Car Park (south)

Start the New Year by following the Coquet westward before enjoying a lofty walk along the Simonside Ridge.

From Rothbury we follow the river westwards before climbing steadily to Great Tosson and it's ruined Bastle. Entering the forest area, we continue the climb to the foot of Simonside. An ascent of the "staircase" takes us onto the Simonside Ridge where we enjoy a spectacular walk with superb views.

Descending to Lordenshaws, we continue through moor and farmland with views over Rothbury before dropping down to our starting point.
