Overview

After crossing the river Coquet, we head West, cross country, along St Oswalds Way, past Brinkburn Prioiry, to Pauperhaugh.  We then turn north and east on the return leg to High Weldon where we will rejoin St Oswalds Way back to the start for a well-earned pint in the pub.

This walk can be wet and muddy so gaiters and a stick are recommended.

There will be a coffee stop en route.

This walk is being lead by Justin Pearce.
