    Tips

    July 1, 2023

    The Bakehouse Steps in Morpeth hold a historical significance as an old crossing point, possibly one of several stepping stones in the area. These steps are made of concrete blocks, likely dating back to the 20th century, evenly spaced in the river bed. They connect High Stanners on the west bank to Newgate Street.

    After heavy rain, the river can flow swiftly, making the stepping stones hazardous to cross. Locally known as the Bakehouse Steps, they play a vital role in facilitating river crossings in Morpeth.

    Note there is no right of way on the other side.
