We are the Ponteland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Leaving Gilsland village, walking up the river past Irthing House, through Woodland Trust Woods, crossing the river passing the closed Gilsland Spa Hotel, back into the Village, along to Birdoswald (steep part) returning back to the village.
TERRAIN : steep inclines, steps (stunning views) grassy paths, fields, surfaced paths, woodland trails, some road walking, few stiles. It can muddy, and rain could make it quite muddy in parts.
