Walking in Northumberland : 36 walks throughout the county - Cheviots, Hadrian's Wall, Pennines and coast

Experienced and beginner walkers alike can move easily between contrasting environments: coastal paths backed by dunes and castles, open moorland in the Cheviot Hills, the rolling uplands of the Pennines, and the iconic line of Hadrian's Wall crossing wide, open countryside. This practical guidebook brings together 36 carefully selected day walks of 2–7 hours, showcasing the county's most rewarding landscapes. Whether you're looking for shorter, lower-level routes for relaxed days out or longer, more demanding hill walks, there's something for every experience level. Each walk is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow format with concise route descriptions, 1:50,000 OS mapping, and a route summary table so you can quickly gauge distance, ascent, terrain and time. The routes are organised into five main areas – the north-east coast, the northern National Park and Cheviot Hills around Wooler, the Rothbury and Tyne Valley area, Kielder, and the North Pennines – making it easy to base yourself in centres such as Alnwick, Rothbury, Hexham or Kielder and explore a different walk each day. Practical information throughout includes notes on refreshments and public transport to help you link routes, use buses or trains for linear walks, or keep driving to a minimum. Extra historical detail on points of interest such as Hadrian's Wall and Lindisfarne Priory, along with viewpoints, nature reserves and wildlife hotspots like Kielder Water, adds depth to every walk. Downloadable GPX files are available for digital navigation on smartphones and GPS devices. The variety of walking found across Northumberland invites repeat visits and new routes each time. This trusted guidebook gives you all the information you need to plan and enjoy each day spent on the trails.
