Stunning scenery and ancient history to be enjoyed
Millions of years ago, lava cooled to form the distinctive rounded Cheviot Hills, which are full of hidden delights. Check out the dramatic waterfall of Linhope Spout or tucked-away ponds of Wooler Common. And which hardy walker could resist the lure of The Cheviot, Northumberland’s highest point?
Prehistory is at hand at Yeavering Bell. The routes of ancient cattle drovers are now bridleways for mountain bikers and horse riders. Or you can follow tradition and head for a picnic and a paddle in the Breamish Valley or romantically-named Harthope Valley. If you’re lucky, you’ll see otters in the shallow rivers while you tuck into lunch on the riverbank.
