Walking in Northumberland

36 Walks throughout the county - coast, Cheviots, Hadrian's Wall and Pennines

Northumberland and its national park have much to offer, from the beautiful coast with its immense, empty beaches and dramatic crag-top castles to the remote hills of the Cheviots and Pennines, and everything in between.

Echoes of the region's often turbulent past include Hadrian's Wall, Lindisfarne Priory, Dunstanburgh Castle, Iron Age forts and mysterious prehistoric rock art.

There are excellent opportunities to spot wildlife, from seals to puffins on the coast to increasingly rare moorland birds and even feral goats in the Cheviot Hills.

• Graded routes range from 6 to 22km, with no technical difficulties.
• Background information on the historic remains encountered.
