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!

From Simonburn (which boasts being a film location for a TV mini-series based on Catherine Cookson's novels) our route takes us south via Uppertown and Teppermoor to Brocolitia. From here we follow a track and field paths to Stooprigg before crossing Simonburn Common towards Great Lonbrough. We return on good tracks over Ravensheugh Crags to Goatstones and then into Simonburn via Castle Lane.
Hopefully some excellent early Spring views and refreshments at the Simonburn Tea Room afterwards.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Liz A., through the 'Get in touch about this walk' box on the right hand side of this page above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail. Please check your spam folder in case replies go there.
Booking opens on Monday, 30th March.
Please meet at Simonburn village green (in front of the 13th century St. Mungo's Church). There is a small car park in Simonburn, but please park considerately around the village if this is full. Car sharing is advised especially because of limited parking space. We try to offer an informal share from Hexham - please contact the walk leader if you are interested (driver or passenger).
