Grassy Fields in Northumberland National Park

Highlight • Natural

Slightly rough grass tracks from here onwards. Be careful as it is awkward to see the true contour of the path you are on

View of Shill Moor from Salters Road

Highlight • Climb

A stunningly remote and punchy climb. The views from the top are sublime and in spring the magical but ever rarer sounds of curlews are crisp and clear.

Panoramic View of Northumberland National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

East to stop and take photos in all directions. Beautiful countryside location

Cattle Grid and Meandering Tracks in Northumberland National Park

Highlight • Natural

Quite a nice section to ride through. The meandering tracks are nice to see. The ground is slightly rough. Be careful going downhill at speed as some decent size rocks could force mistakes

River Crossing in Northumberland National Park

Highlight • Trail

A lovely quiet place to listen to the the birds, the lambs and the sound of the trickling stream. Cooled down with a paddle in the stream before the climb back out to re-join the main route.

Cobden Sike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The trail here is pretty well defined, but it's quite bleak, exposed and totally beautiful. Look out for little waterfalls when you ford Cobden Sike itself, too!

Tip by

12.1 km

Track to Chesters

Highlight • Trail

Decent track for off-road tyres as far as Chesters - after that it's grassy, doubtless boggy after rain

Tip by

Alnham Tower and Church

Highlight • Religious Site
