Overview

The walk heads north east along tracks and woodland alongside the River Coquet towards Whirleyshaws. We then cross the river and head along minor roads and tracks to Acklington Park and then onto St.Owswald's Way which we follow along the south side of the Coquet back to Felton.

Terrain: Varied, tracks, woodland paths and some road walking. Nothing too strenuous.

Lunch stop en route.
