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!
Carol S.
Explore some of the well- and less-well-known hinterland south of Rothbury.
From the River Coquet, we take St. Oswald's Way and climb up past the unusual Sharpe's Folly, the Iron Age settlement at Lordenshaws and the scout hut at Spylaw Cottage. Turning east from there, we head out towards Blagdonburn farm and The Lonning before entering the Forest Burn valley and the woods of Lee Plantation. We then head north to Butterknowes, passing the remains of its bastle and rejoining St. Oswald's Way as it makes its way above the Coquet back into Rothbury.
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 mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 29th July.
Park and meet at the Rothbury riverside (Cowhaugh) car park on the south side of the Coquet.
