Overview

A walk with extensive views of the Coquet Valley and beyond and taking in Thropton and the Terraces. 

From Rothbury we aim along tracks towards Great Tosson and through fields to Thropton. From here we follow a delightful green lane (Physic Lane) as it climbs gently up to access land where we join the Rothbury Terraces. Our return is via Ship Crag and Addycombe.
