We are the Chester-le-Street Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Rothbury
This is an 8 mile walk from Rothbury starting through fields along side the river Coquet and then over the river to Thropton. We then have a gentle climb up onto open moorland. The tracks are quite good with a couple of stiles thrown in. We go through woodland and another short climb before dropping back down into Rothbury.
A short walk of 5 miles is also available.
