Northumberland National Park

Beautiful place right on my doorstep, Alwinton is my favourite place to visit though.

Beautiful walking area, plenty to do and see

Went to bird of pray centre and what an amazing experience it was. Got to fly 3 different species of owls.

A panoramic view from one of the highest points on hadriens wall at the win sil ridge. A view that takes in the north Pennines and the Northumberland national park . This section of the wall situated between homesteads English heritage Roman fort and museum and the Roman army museum is the most intact and breathtaking walk along the wall. A must an well worth amble taking in the famous sycamore gap midway.

Beautiful views, lovely walks, amazing landscapes, stayed in a lovely cottage in a beautiful rural area

This is a stunning area... however if you like to cycle off road on public bridleways then you maybe frustrated.OS maps routes were often blocked.Many landowners stop your access by locking gates.... farm vehicles left in front of access area... tyre walls in the way... or signs completely removed.Also encountered intimidating farmers...one chased us on a quad to tell us we couldn't have access.... even though we were on a signed bridleway that led to two further bridleways and a footpath.We probably won't revisit the area for holidays again.... I can look at the scenery from photos on line... but would prefer to be able to get in it... rather than view from my window.... currently that's difficult by mtb.Some organisation needs to stand up for our public rights of way before they are all completley eroded and lost altogether... clearly that's not Northumbria National parks... or the local authorities...or OS.Who owns the land ? Is it the national?Or private land owners.Do we give them permission to access our public rights of way... or they give us permission to access their land.... who has priority.Looks like at the moment landowners can get away with doing whatever they want without any authority making them accountable.

Unbelievably stunning scenery, forests, waters and moors. Undulating hills and Neolithic marked rocks can be discovered via the miles of footpaths and tracks.

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.

Lovely place but wearing doc Martins along those hills was a nightmare. Couldn't find the burger van at the top of the hill but the guy must have been off that day. Overall, the trip really spread my scone and I'll be happy to go back.

Wonderful place, beautiful countryside and amazing Archaeology!. Rock overhang chatton hill+ the kettley stone chatton hill+ panel number 1 chatton hill.
