Weekly walks all year round, highly regarded footpath maintenance work and a great way to make new friends – three good reasons to join Hexham Ramblers!

Our walk begins heading northwards on a footpath alongside Pikewell Burn and into Struthers' Wood. Continuing to the southern edge of Hamsterley Mill, we pick up the Derwent Way. We turn through Hamsterley to Blackhall Mill then head for Broad Oak Farm. Crossing fields and the River Derwent, we come to the site of Vindomora Roman Fort and Ebchester. From here field paths take us east and up to Medomsley with a promise of fine views. Our final stretch is via field paths to Low Bradley and on through Bradley Woods before dropping back down to Dipton.

Please meet in the car park by the surgery next to Collierley Primary School, Dipton (see map). This is located on the left hand side of the A692 in Dipton if travelling north-east from the Ebchester/Consett road. Car sharing is advised. We try to offer an informal share from Hexham - please contact the walk leader if you are interested (driver or passenger).
