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!
Join Roger (creator of Isaac's Tea Trail) in this special walk around the Upper Nent Valley with a visit to the Lovelady Shield Hotel, a Georgian country house hotel on the banks of the river Nent.
Nenthead is the ancestral home of the family of Isaac Holden, the Victorian grocer who inspired the route of the tea trail. There is no shortage of interest on almost every step of the way so be prepared to be surprised and amazed. Also, you'll have the chance to catch up on the success of the 'spiling' work done by Hexham Ramblers' footpath maintenance group to save the riverside footpath from erosion.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Roger, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the mail. .
Booking opens on Monday, 9th October.
Please note: this walk is on Thursday, 19th October.
Meet at Nenthead Mines car park. The simplest way to Nenthead from Hexham is probably to take the Allendale road (B6305/B6295) through Allendale to Spartylea, where you turn right on to the Coalcleugh road. This brings you out on to the A689, a short distance from Nenthead.
