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!
Barbara W.
Enjoy a figure of eight walk around Walltown.
From Walltown Country Park we head east on Hadrian's Wall Path to Great Chesters, where you can see the outlines of Aesica, a large fort on Hadrian's Wall. Turning south and west we follow the course of the vallum along the valley to cross the HW path at Walltown near King Arthur's Well. We then follow a footpath across the moor to High Old Shields (with excellent views of the crags behind us). Our return is across farmland via Wood House and the ruined 12th-century Thirlwall Castle, picking up the HW path back to Walltown car park.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leader, Barbara, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail.
Booking opens on Monday, 30th June.
Please meet at the Northumberland National Park car park at Walltown Country Park (£6 per day). Car sharing is advised. The starting point can be reached by the AD122 bus from Hexham in time for the start. Toilets are available at the Visitor Centre.
