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!
Graham S.
A leisurely walk from Horsely via Ovingham and Whittle Dene.
Our route is south along Mill Lane and through woodland to the River Tyne. We follow the river to Ovingham before turning up along the east side of Whittle Dene to Whittle Farm. After crossing the A69 (footbridge) we continue north to Spital before turning back to Horsley via Duns Law and Horsley Hill.
The walk is on mainly good field and woodland paths, with long but gentle inclines. Some short stretches of road walking and a potentially muddy area near Spittal.
Cafe/pub in Horsley at the end of the walk.

Please park considerately along the main road in Horsely and meet by the Lion & Lamb. 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).
