Overview

This afternoon walk, held in association with the Corbridge Chamber Music Festival, takes us from Hexham Abbey to St. Andrew's church in Corbridge. It starts at 1:30 after a morning concert in Hexham Abbey and will end with tea at St Andrew's. 

The route climbs up from Hexham to Dukeshouse Wood and is then largely flat as it continues to Dilston and follows the Devil’s Water and River Tyne into Corbridge.

The Festival is offering Hexham Ramblers members discounted tickets for the Hexham Abbey concert in the morning and also for the evening concert at St. Andrew's. For details please contact the walk leader, Nick M.
