From the beautiful sandy beaches in the north to the rugged and historic landscapes of Hadrian's Wall, through the lonely Cheviot and the lush inland valleys of the Allens and the Derwent, Northumberland remains one of the least known, but most rewarding of British counties. This selection of walks ranges from easy strolls in Berwick and on Lindisfarne to the 27- mile Border Ridge walk through the Cheviot, and provides something for walkers of all ages and levels.
