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!

An interesting walk around the Wansbeck valley that passes the deserted medieval village of South Middleton.
Our route is via Bolam Church and Low Angerton before turning west along the river Wansbeck towards Middleton. Passing South Middleton and Half Moon Plantation the route rises to Salters Nick and the impressive Shaftoe Crags before returning to Bolam Lake. A fairly level walk across fields, tracks and some minor roads.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Barbara W., through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 10th February.
Please meet at the Boat House Wood carpark by the visitor centre just to the north of the lake. £4.50 all day parking. Car sharing is recommended. Bolam Lake Country Park lies about nine miles west of Morpeth and is signposted off the A696 from Belsay. There are three car parks - please meet at the Boat House Wood car park to the north of the lake (not Low House or West Wood).
