Cheviot Hills |

There are walks of all sorts, including a major route, the King Oswald’s Way, which runs from Holy Island to Hexham following (more or less) the route taken by the monks who rescued the body of St Cuthbert from the Viking raids on Holy Island, and took it down to Durham. Across the A1 lie the Cheviot Hills, best approached from the north via Wooler (the College Valley is particularly attractive, as is the Harthope Burn which provides access for the assault on either Hedgehope or Cheviot itself). Alternatively the area may visited from the south via Rothbury and Redesdale through the Army Training Area at Otterburn.
