Long Crag 319.3m P170 (1047ft) MARILYN (DoBIH Hill ID: 2316) [JNSA 12708] County of Northumberland Definitive List summit.

A fantastic waterfall, well worth a look.

Fairly easy walk to a stunning waterfall

very muddy trail.

A lovely lonely isolated outcrop of fell sandstone hidden in a dense forest. It may have been a gathering place in days past and hence its name. A very old and eerie gathering place at that. A lovely place full of character though.

Exposed rocky tracks that are waterways during rainfall are what these bridleways are. Can be difficult to ride on and getting rythmn peddling can be difficult. Plenty sections need the bike pushed. Be careful, there are loads of rocky drops where it can be very easy to twist ankles.

Lordenshaws is an ancient Iron Age hill fort built around 2000 years ago. There is also evidence of a Bronze Age burial mound. The cup and ring marks on this great stone are thought to be rock art etched into the stone by Neolithic and Bronze Age people between 6000 and 3500 years ago. It's well worth running up here from the car park before starting a loop of the Simonside Hills to have a look at this ancient monument and take in the views of the hills you're about to run. It's also on the St Oswald's Way long distance trail or on the way to the Simonside Hills from Rothbury.

The ancient Fort on the top of the hill is fascinating. I loved seeing the cup and ring markings on the large rocks.
