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!

A delightful Autumn walk mainly through deciduous woodland, so hopefully we
should enjoy some good autumn colour.
We follow a section of the Red Kite Trail up through Chopwell Wood towards High Spen, and then follow Spen Burn down through the wooded Rowlands Gill towards Warren's Haugh. From there, it's a leisurely stroll back along the Derwent Walk railway path to the historic village of Lintzford on the River Derwent, where a water-powered corn mill (and later a paper mill) once stood.
Tea and cakes will be available in the garden centre after the walk.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leaders, Sue, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail. Please check your spam folder for any replies.
Booking opens on Monday, 20th October.
Meet in the layby near the Lintzford garden centre. This is located on the right of the A694 if travelling east past Hamsterley Mill, and is just before the road crosses the River Derwent. If you live on, or can access, the route for the GoNorthEast X45 bus, this stops at the garden centre.
