Hexham

Walk B

Hexham-Tyne Watersmeet-Acomb-Hexham

7.5 Miles Grade 3

Leader: Elizabeth Allnutt

Start: Rosehill 8.50am - Sands 9.00am

 

Some short, steep ups and downs

We cross the river on the road bridge and then turn left by various old roads and footpaths to the outskirts of Acomb, crossing the A69 by footbridge. At Acomb we turn into the old mineworkings and go through a woodland area to the SSSI which is a lovely circular woodland walk, partly on an old railway line by the river. We'll lunch on the river strand close to the meeting of the north and south Tynes. From there we return to Acomb by quiet roads and then from Acomb to Hexham through fields and roads via the church of St John of Beverley, retracing our footsteps at the end of the walk.

Hexham

Walk A

Hexham Crcular

11 Miles Grade 2/3

Leader: Graham Bell

Start: Rosehill 8.50am - Sands 9.00am

 

This lengthy but fairly easy walk explores the footpaths and lanes to the south and west of Hexham.
Following a fairly steep climb as we leave Hexham the walk reaches Dipton Mill before heading west through woods along Dipton Beck before emerging at the back of Hexham Racecourse.
From there it carries on to Lowgate and Coastley Farm before crossing the A69 at Warden from where it follows the Tyne back to Hexham.
Health Warning ⚠️
This is a long walk and the paths through Dipton Wood are difficult in places with an awkward beck crossing.  It will be muddy underfoot.
 
This walk will be done at a gentle pace.

Hexham

Walk C

Hexham Area

3 Miles Grade 4

Leader: Sharron Murray

Start: Rosehill 8.50am - Sands 9.00am

 

Starting from a layby on the A69 outside Hexham, we follow a minor road down to the river Tyne. We pass two places where an old railway used to span the river before continuing along a levee above the river. We continue past the golf club to take us to the bridges over which is the town. Further up the road we will call in the Abbey for refreshments.
