A Salubrious Coach Journey

Powburn to Glanton - 2 March 2024 We are going on a salubrious coach journey, all the way from North Tyneside to Glanton in Northumberland. In 1895 when the Northumberland historian David Dippie Dixon came to this part of Northumberland he called Glanton a salubrious little village. David probably arrived in the area by train because a branch line to…

This Side of the River

Hexham to Slaley - 3 February 2024 It is not exactly a repeat of our last time out on the 20th of January because this time we are on this side of the river, the south side of the River Tyne that is. We are also walking south towards Slaley but the 9-mile route starts one bus stop away from…

Walking on the Edge of the Cheviots

Thropton to Clennell Hall - 25 November 2023 We have been to Clennell Hall a few times in the past. Usually, we have either started from the Hall or started from the Alwinton area and then walked into the Cheviots on the southeastern side. This time we are walking on the edge of the Cheviots and coming in from the…
