    Tips

    When you reach the 2,674-foot (815 m) high summit of The Cheviot, you are officially at the highest point in the Northumberland National Park. On a clear day, you can see the Lake District in the distance and even Edinburgh. A millstone slabbed pathway on the summit is the final part of the iconic long-distance route, the Pennine Way.
