Explore the gentle landscapes of Northumberland National Park on The Drakestone & Harbottle Lake loop. This easy 2.7-mile (4.3 km) hike, with a modest 445-foot (136 metres) elevation gain, typically takes about 1 hour and 16 minutes to complete. You will discover a mix of quiet woodlands and open fields, passing the ancient ruins of Harbottle Castle. A key feature is the imposing Drake Stone, a 30-foot sandstone boulder that provides expansive views of the distant Simonside and Cheviot Hills, alongside the tranquil Harbottle Lake.
When you plan your outing, remember that some parts of the trail can be wet, so sturdy walking boots are recommended for comfort. You will come across stiles along the route, which are easy to cross. If you are hiking with a dog, please keep it on a lead, particularly when you are in areas with livestock. Although the broader region has a military firing range, this specific loop is located outside of any restricted access zones, ensuring a safe and enjoyable walk.
The trail offers a glimpse into the natural and historical fabric of the area, showcasing both geological formations like the Drake Stone and the remnants of human history at Harbottle Castle. This circular route provides a rewarding experience for hikers looking for a shorter, accessible adventure. It is a great way to immerse yourself in the picturesque scenery and peaceful atmosphere of this corner of Northumberland.
