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

The walk begins from Barrasford, heading over fields and following clear footpaths to Gunnerton. From there it follows the Coal Road gently uphill in the direcOon of Birtley, then descends towards Chipchase Castle and the river, finally returning to Barrasford.
The walk is mainly on quiet roads and over farmland with extensive views for most of the way. There are a few short rough patches, but nothing .
Brief coffee stop if desired and longer lunch stop on the walk. The Errington is open unOl 4pm, should we finish in Ome, for anyone who would like refreshments after the walk.
