great views on a clear day

can be easy or difficult, depends which side you ascend from. so choose wisely

Simply impressive. The view, the building, everything!

Emmanuel Head is one of those quirky, unexpected gems on Holy Island. The stark white pyramid looks almost out of place at first, but it’s actually steeped in history – built in 1810, it’s the oldest surviving daymark in England. Sailors would have used it as a navigational aid to guide them safely around the island’s treacherous coast, long before modern lighthouses and GPS. The walk out there is lovely, with wide-open views across the dunes, sea and Lindisfarne Castle in the distance. Standing by it, with seabirds wheeling overhead and the waves rolling in, you really get a sense of the island’s long connection with the sea. A peaceful, slightly off-the-beaten-path highlight – and a great photo stop too!

The climb up to the trig pointed top of Hedgehope from the direction of The Cheviot, is not too bad and was a real highlight of my walking day. The summit is one of the best in the Cheviots — a cairned shelter from the wind, big skies, a sense of space, and on a clear day you can pick out the coastline, the Cheviot Hills rolling away into Scotland, and even the Lake District in the distance. The route is a bit boggy underfoot, so try and pick a dry period if possible.

Kielder Castle is a charming 18th-century hunting lodge in Northumberland, built in 1775 for the Duke of Northumberland. Today, it serves as a vibrant visitor center and the starting point for numerous walking and cycling routes, including the famous Lakeside Way. Although the castle is currently undergoing renovations, the information center remains open and the surrounding facilities are accessible. It's an ideal base for exploring England's largest forest. It houses the Kielder Visitor Center and the Cafe at the Castle.

The Tower Knowe Visitor Centre, run by Kielder Water & Forest Park, is an information center and café on the banks of Kielder Water. The café is a great place to refuel if you're walking the 42-kilometer Lakeside Way, or a good starting and finishing point for a shorter run. The café is open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with food served from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Information about this magnificent long-distance hiking trail—along this border fortification dating back to Roman times (the 120s AD) and commissioned by Emperor Hadrian—is no longer available only on printed maps or books. Hikers who would like to gather information online in advance can find it on the official website, which is entitled: "Follow in the footsteps of Romans and trek alongside an ancient monument on a coast-to-coast walk across northern England."
