Overview

Heading south from Corbridge, this walk follows quiet country roads and footpaths via Corbridge Common, Red Hemmels, Beauclerc and Prospect Hill. We go up and down some hills (total ascent 1152 feet) with one short, steepish uphill section through Spring Dean (near Shepherd's Dene) that includes some uneven ground that  would be muddy if wet.
