BREAMISH VALLEY WALKS

These are divided between the various Cheviot valleys and vary in length and amount of ascent. The ‘Mountain Goat’, also known as 'Dad' has chosen some of his favourite walks from a selection of the valleys.

The Cheviot Hills straddle the Anglo-Scottish border between Northumberland and the Scottish borders. The English section is all located within the Northumberland National Park which itself provides lots of useful information which can be found here: www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk

The ‘Walk 11’ called Langleeford was thought up by a fell running friend looking to fit in a lot of ascent in a reasonable distance. All of the other walks have been done by ‘Pete’s Petals’ who are mature ladies in their 50s & 60s… so no excuses!

Obviously, you may well have your own ideas and plans, please feel free to ask about other routes.
