To allow you to choose a walk that suits you best, WalkWise UK will provide a minimum of two walks on each day, led by professional and knowledgeable walking guides. On both days there will be a hard walk of 10-12 miles and an easier walk of 6-8 miles with less ascent. We can offer a full range of grades at this centre please check that the grades offered are suitable for your group. There are pleasant gentle strolls available through the wide broad valleys that cut through the wooded slopes that surround the wild open moorland of this untouched region. For those who are tempted away from these delightful valleys with their sleepy hamlets, the tracks lead through some of the most remote and beautiful countryside in the country. Your reward is the truly memorable views and an experience to remember. Around the house: Otterburn is a quiet village with only a couple of pubs and shops to keep you entertained. However, Northumbria is a county of extremes. There are numerous castles and fortified market towns, some great estates as well as the more active pursuits of horse riding, mountain biking and water sports. There’s always something to do! Please ask our guides on the weekend for any further information. |
