Eerie sight but beautiful.

Stunning views at the top on the Northumberland border

If your bike is in any way loaded, make sure you have at least a 32 on the rear.

Rookhope is really interesting- but slowly dying. The arch is almost emblematic of that.

To cross the River Allen at this point, you will pass over this three-arch bridge, which is listed as Grade 2. Its origin dates back to the late 18th century. There are a few parking spaces on one side of the bridge.

Great place to stop for cake on the C2C route

Well earnt Achievement coming up from St John's Chapel! Simon Warren would be proud ;-) and the scenery is epic along the Garrigill road on the way back! Listen out for the Curlews :-D

The road heading up onto Redburn Common from Allenheads (430m) in the west climbs through a steep hairpin bend and several shallower corners to reach an altitude of 533m. The descent down the otherside to Rookhope at just over 300m is more gradual and fun to ride. Also good the other way with a longer steady climb and then a steep descent down to Allenheads, watch out for the tight corners and cattle grid on the descent if riding in this direction.
