Something for everyone…
There are miles and miles of nationally renowned cycling and walking trails, and we have Europe’s largest area of protected night sky. Whether you’re a couple, a family, part of a group or seeking some solitude there’s no better place to be.

CYCLING
There is a total of 350 miles of cycle paths in Northumberland. Four of the most famous cycle routes in the country run through Northumberland: Hadrian’s Cycleway, The Coast & Castles, Pennine Cycleway, and the UK’s most popular route, the Sea to Sea (C2C).
WALKING & HIKING
This area is a walking paradise! The local area is rich with walking trails to suit every type of walker. Two popular walking trails are The Pennine Way (National Trail) and Hareshaw Linn.
STAR GAZING
We are Darky Sky Friendly! Due to extremely low levels of light pollution at Brown Rigg and when the conditions are right, we can see thousands of stars overhead; the Milky Way, Meteor showers, Noctilucent clouds and even the Aurora Borealis.
