We are the Ponteland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Above Corbridge just to the east of the railway station.
The walk starts with a climb up a tarmac lane (this is a severe zig zag climb which some might find extremely strenuous) for about 11/2 miles with excellent views over Corbridge & Tyne valley. There is chance of coffee break after another 11/2 miles along a quiet lane before following the signpost across field & down into the woods.
The ground is muddy in parts here but accessible. Once through the woods we join a track which takes us past individual houses and on to Ladycutter Lane which we follow for another mile before arriving back at the beginning of the walk.
There will be a refreshment stop en-route.
The walk is being lead by John MacKenzie.
