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!

This walk marks the anniversary of the official opening of the Pennine Way 60 years ago today and gives excellent views of the South Tyne Valley through which the PW passes.
From the car park we drop down to the river South Tyne and then work our way to Kellah and Batey Shield where we join the Pennine Way. We follow this to Burnstones before heading back via Eals, Coanwood and the disused Prisoner of War Camp Site below Featherstone Castle.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Carol, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 14th April.
Please meet at Featherstone Park car park on the South Tyne Trail near Rowfoot/Featherstone. From the A69 on the Haltwhistle bypass, take the road signposted to Alston (A689), Halton Lea Gate and Coanwood. Continue through Park Village and after 0.8 miles, turn right before Featherstone village hall (on a sharp lefthand bend). Pass the Wallace Arms and the car park is signposted on the left. Parking is limited and car sharing is highly recommended.
