Weekly walks all year round, highly regarded footpath maintenance work and a great way to make new friends – three good reasons to join Hexham Ramblers!

You can expect many contrasts in this interesting walk.
From Birtley the route passes the site of the castle on the way to the North Tyne at Wark. We follow the Tyne Trail north, picking up the disused Border Counties Railway and through Countesspark Woods to Redesmouth - where the old Wansbeck (Wannie) line joined the Border's line. Leaving the remains of the railway heritage, we climb up above the valley via Buteland to Birtley.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Nick B., through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail.

Meet at Birtley village hall. The village hall is located near the top of the village by the playground, as shown in the map. Please park courteously in the village. Car sharing is recommended.
