We are the Ponteland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Setting out from Newburn we ascend up to Throckley, the only climb on the walk, and then along the road to Heddon-on-the-Wall. From here we commence our descent, including a section through Close House Golf Course, and then pick up the River Tyne Trail back along to our start point.
Woodland trails, pavements, quiet roads and Golf Course.
Distance -7.5 miles. However for any wanting a shorter 5 mile walk an alternative route is available. Same route as the longer walk to Heddon-on-the-Wall and then a different shorter route back to the start.
Refreshment stop in Heddon-on-the-Wall with lunch at end of walk as facilies in the Park.
