Northumberland National Park
Rochester, United Kingdom National park
One of the Best Places To Visits in Rochester Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Vast open & a lovely welcoming Cafe opposite the Church. Plenty of walking available & a babbling Brooke winding its way through the valley. Northumberland National Park is a wonderful place to explore if you love the outdoors. The walking routes are very long and rewarding, offering some of the most stunning and unspoiled views in the UK. There are well-kept picnic areas for when you want to stop and take in the scenery, and toilets are available at key points, which makes the day more comfortable. The atmosphere is peaceful, with plenty of space to enjoy nature without feeling crowded. That said, you definitely need to come prepared. The weather can change very quickly, so dressing appropriately and bringing good walking boots is essential. There are some eating places scattered around, but it’s best to pack food and drinks, especially if you’re tackling one of the longer routes. Overall, it’s an amazing place to spend the day outdoors, with breathtaking landscapes that make the effort worthwhile. Up on the hill tops between Elsdon and hepple, great views, silence... Just absorb the moment and chill... Take your flask for a coffee. Nice drive through the hills towards Rothbury. Beautiful... Fantastic roads and scenery..great for picnics and days out. These photos are just a small idea of such a large beautiful area. ( A tip I heard once was take the road less traveled... Get exploring). This is my go to place to escape from the stresses of life. Great scenery. We just went for a drive which passed through the National Park. Would imagine it being a good place for walkers and hikers Wonderful weather as we drove through the southern sections of the park. Dramatic and beautiful hillsides, with only one day of cloudy weather. An outstanding natural landscape steeped in history in which one feels a deep spiritual connection to the earth. A truly humbling experience only a short ride from Hexham. Tread softly and take only photographs, this wonder of nature needs all of our support to sustain it's awe inspiring beauty for future generations to behold & adore. This is a bit of Ingram Valley. There are public loos and also a café with loos and visitors centre. Lovely place to start and finish day hikes. Keep dogs on leads around sheep or cattle is an absolute must though. Spent last weekend here, it's an incredible area. The is amazing, rolling green hills everywhere (and more rocky and rugged up in the Simonside Hills). It's so calm and relaxing here too, there were just hardly any people about everywhere we went. (Visited on a cold weekend in February though.) If you have an interest in (Roman) history, you need to visit this area. And if you don't have an interest in history, you'll likely leave here with one. There are lots of English Heritage/National Trust sites to visit, ruins of Roman forts etc, but unless you're a member, visiting them all might get expensive. However you can visit Hadrian's Wall for free. Me and my dog walked about 6 miles of 'The Wall' in total. The of the area and the wall snaking along the hills in the distance provides some memorable sights. Just be warned that the walking routes are quite rough; they're not perfect gravel paths and instead are just raw grass/mud/farmland. There are steep ascents and descents, either on the aforementioned mud or on stone steps which can be slippery if it's rained. Route GPX files and information about which routes have stiles or not are available on the Northumberland National Park website. Lovely walks all over Northumberland,,come and visit you won't leave disappointed I love to get out in the outdoors, it’s a lovely family activity and a great way to burn the fat (larger lady alert). My husband Billy and I enjoy squirrel suiting off the high hills together. It’s been an extreme sport we have always enjoyed together, it’s very romantic. Such a beautiful area to explore. Highly recommend. Views are stunning, especially around Kielder Forest and Water. Really beautiful walking and views! Some challenging routes moderate difficulty on the pink route! Fabulous & beautiful. Plenty of public toilets which were clean & well stocked!. ( Unlike North of the border) Also dog friendly, water bowls outside shops,bars etc. Even allowed inside many premises. Also found carpark charges very reasonable or non existent. Most refreshing when compared to north of 'Edge of Empire'!
