Overview

Join the celebrations with this longer walk on the Pennine Way. 

On arrival of the AD122 bus from Hexham at Grandy's Knowe (at 9am), just west of Housteads, our walk will take us across Hadrian's Wall where we will pick up the Pennine Way north to Bellingham. This is a varied walk with wonderful scenery.

We will meet those doing the shorter walk for a Hexham Ramblers Tea at the Riverdale Hotel in Bellingham. Bookings for the tea must be made in advance and by Wednesday 9th July

The return to Hexham will be by service bus unless you have made alternative arrangements.
