Walks with the Wife
Coastal and Country Walks in the North East of England
Currently guided by Jon Tait’s ‘Northumberland – 40 Coast and Country Walks’, my wife and I intend to tackle 20 routes this year in a bid to fully explore the area we’ve decided to make home.

Warkworth Castle
We needed a short walk for Rachael. It just so happens that Warkworth Castle is one of the shortest routes in our guidebook!
Plessey Woods
One of the shortest walks in the guide book was just over 2km at Plessey Woods – perfect for the heavily pregnant wife.
Sycamore Gap
With what may just have been the final sunshine of 2020, a hike to the famed Sycamore Gap was in order.
Old Rothbury Railway
Making an afternoon of it on the short walk along the abandoned Old Rothbury Railway.
Humbleton Hillfort
Built in either the Neolithic or Bronze Age, Humbleton Hillfort was our second walk of the day
Flodden Field
In 1513, Flodden field played host to one of the bloodiest battles in UK history.
