Vast protected borders landscape encompassing Hadrian's Wall, Kielder Forest & the Cheviot Hills.
A place we regularly walk in and the county I was born in. Love the wildness and remoteness but not so much the natural bogs. Our boots were, constantly, bog hopping, on our last walk! Unfortunately a lot of rights of way are still blocked with fallen trees, from the storms of the last two years, making walking in woodlands, somewhat of a challenge and work out
Up on the hill tops between Elsdon and hepple, great views, silence... Just absorb the moment and chill... Take your flask for a coffee. Nice drive through the hills towards Rothbury.
Beautiful... Fantastic roads and scenery..great for picnics and days out. These photos are just a small idea of such a large beautiful area. ( A tip I heard once was take the road less traveled... Get exploring). This is my go to place to escape from the stresses of life.
An outstanding natural landscape steeped in history in which one feels a deep spiritual connection to the earth. A truly humbling experience only a short ride from Hexham. Tread softly and take only photographs, this wonder of nature needs all of our support to sustain it's awe inspiring beauty for future generations to behold & adore.
Spent last weekend here, it's an incredible area. The scenery is amazing, rolling green hills everywhere (and more rocky and rugged up in the Simonside Hills). It's so calm and relaxing here too, there were just hardly any people about everywhere we went. (Visited on a cold weekend in February though.) If you have an interest in (Roman) history, you need to visit this area. And if you don't have an interest in history, you'll likely leave here with one. There are lots of English Heritage/National Trust sites to visit, ruins of Roman forts etc, but unless you're a member, visiting them all might get expensive. However you can visit Hadrian's Wall for free. Me and my dog walked about 6 miles of 'The Wall' in total. The scenery of the area and the wall snaking along the hills in the distance provides some memorable sights. Just be warned that the walking routes are quite rough; they're not perfect gravel paths and instead are just raw grass/mud/farmland. There are steep ascents and descents, either on the aforementioned mud or on stone steps which can be slippery if it's rained. Route GPX files and information about which routes have stiles or not are available on the Northumberland National Park website.
Unbelievably stunning scenery, forests, waters and moors. Undulating hills and Neolithic marked rocks can be discovered via the miles of footpaths and tracks.
