Escape from the crowded hot-spots to the wide-open spaces of Northumberland. Truly a paradise for walkers and this guidebook explores some parts that many locals may never have explored on foot. With its rich historical heritage and varied scenery, this is an area just waiting to be discovered by the discerning walker.

This unique guidebook explores the lesser-known landscapes of North and South Tynedale, Allendale, Hexhamshire, Blanchland and Hadrian’s Wall. These are in the historic countryside of Northumberland, (with forays into Cumbria and County Durham) within easy access of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Durham and other popular locations. The walks are packed with interest on the history, industrial archeology and the traditions, and culture of the area. Profusely illustrated.
