Overview

An exploration of the woods and burns south from Hexham.

Our route climbs up through Halfmile Wood to Dukeshouse Wood and Milking Hill. Crossing through a small plantation, we descend to cross Dipton Burn and then follow Letah Burn through Letah Wood (managed by the Woodland Trust). We rejoin Dipton Burn and then turn north into woodland at Hole House. Our return is via Wydon Burn and Wydon Reservoir (a flood defence and nature reserve) and down a woodland corridor along the burn into the centre of Hexham.
