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 the celebrations with this shorter linear walk on the Pennine Way.
Our route takes us out of Wark by the church and up a footpath through fields via Warksfield Head to join the Pennine Way. We follow the Pennine Way north through Shitlington to Bellingham with wonderful views across the valley.
We will meet with the walkers on the longer walk for a Ramblers tea at the Riverdale Hotel in Bellingham - bookings for the tea (£7.50 pp) need to be made in advance and by Wednesday 9th July. We hope everyone will join us there
The return journey is by service bus to either Wark, Cholerford, Wall, Acomb or Hexham (unless you have made alternative car share arrangements).
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place and to book for the tea, please e-mail the walk leaders, Jill and John, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 30th June for the walk and close on Wednesday 9th July for tea.
Please meet by the One Stop shop which is diagonally opposite the bus stop in the centre of Wark village (see location on map). We will aim to start just after 12 o'clock as soon as the Tynedale Links bus service 680 arrives from Hexham [departing Hexham bus station at 11.30]. Please note the 680 also stops at Acomb, Wall and Chollerford en route to Wark. If you are travelling by car/car share, please park courteously in the village and arrive at the One Stop shop in time for the walk to start at 12 noon. There is some verge parking on the eastern side of the river on the left after crossing the narrow bridge towards Barrasford.
The walk will finish in Bellingham. You can return to Wark or Hexham by bus unless you have made alternative car share arrangements. The Tynedale Links bus service 680 leaves Bellingham for Wark, Chollerford, Wall, Acomb and Hexham at 16:40, 18:40 and 19:40 should you wish to explore the town or the First & Last Brewery.
