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 the picturesque village of Simonburn our route takes us west via Castle Lane on good tracks to Goatstones and over Ravenshuegh Crags. From Great Lonborough we follow a restricted byway crossing Simonburn Common via Stooprigg farm. This section is mainly across grassy moorland. We reach Broccolitia before returning across farmland via Teppermoor and Uppertown.
Plenty of lovely Spring views (see photos) accompanied by the songs of curlews, lapwings and skylarks on the pre walk!
Advance booking is required for this walk.

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).
