An ancient road (there are so many around here), this one originally ran from Blanchland to Hexham. It's very pretty, and the going's good and firm.

It's better tackled as a climb, from south to north; it's an easy way to gain height (there are more fun singletrack options for descending nearby).

After a nice warm up climb from the farms you are welcomed to a nice view of the open moors.
This old farmers/traders path leads you to Staley forest
