We are the Morpeth Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
An easy to moderate 8 mile walk North Belsay to Bolam circular. Mostly field walking with some road walking. Walking conditions are good despite the amount of rain we've experienced lately. However the trail exiting from Bolam Church is very boggy and there are lots of brambles which are quite hazardous. Continuing on to the old Wannie line, it is extremely muddy. There are many gates on this walk and some of the stiles are in a state of disrepair. Two gentle hills. Lunch at Bolam Lake. There are picnic tables and also a cafe and rest stops. Fabulous scenery and an interesting story about Bolam Church being accidentally bombed during the war!
Meet at Newmarket East car park in Morpeth at 09.20 for a prompt 0930 start.
Turn right at the junction of the A696 and B6524. Layby is immediately on the left.
