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!
Heather E.
A springtime walk along the Irthing valley.
The route follows riverside paths and tracks through farmland to Chapelburn before crossing the river Irthing. The route then rises steeply to join the line of Hardrian's Wall, passing the remains of Banks Turret and Haytongate back to Lanercost. If the weather is kind there should be extensive views to the Pennines and the Lakeland Fells.
Some walking is on minor roads.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Heather E., through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 31st March.
Note: This walk is limited to 15 walkers.
Please meet at the small car park on north side of Lanercost Old Bridge. Car sharing is highly recommended. Directions: From Hexham on the A69 take the right turn signed to Brampton (A6071) and then the first right to Lanercost. The parking area is on your left immediately as you cross the old bridge. We advise you not to take the steep and narrow single track road to Lanercost signposted from the A69.
