Overview

Please note that the start time for this walk is 11.00a.m. and NOT 10.30 a.m. as the park does not open until 11.00 a.m.

This walk is a moderate, circular walk of about five miles in Hulne Park, Alnwick and is on road, track and paths through woodland, by a stream and through pastures. There are a couple of hills but not too strenuous. The views are excellent and we pass an old priory on the way.
