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!
A good winter walk that isn't too challenging. It starts from New Ridley Rd on a footpath rising sharply across fields to Hedley on the Hill, from where the views across to the Tyne valley are terrific on a clear day. We then descend to Westriding Woods on our way to Whittonstall before climbing back up to Hedley on the Hill on a different footpath and making our final descent to New Ridley.
The going may be a bit soggy in places!
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Josie B, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 8th January.
Park on the roadside in New Ridley, near the junction of New Ridley Road with Batt House Road. To get to the starting point, take the turning by the petrol station at Branch End (on the A695) and follow the road for about a mile. If you find yourself driving past the Dr. Syntax pub, you have driven too far!
