You may have missed our Walk to Wellbeing at Hareshaw Linn but don't despair you can enjoy this peaceful walk in this ancient woodland, home to many rare species of moss and lichens, on your own.

As it's and we are celebrating 70 years of Northumberland National Park with our own 70th Anniversary Walking Festival.

This is a moderate walk of around 3 miles (5km) with an ascent of 348ft. It's dog friendly and has much historic interest and geological highlights.

Save this post or share with a friend.

Step into nature with our Walk to Wellbeing at Hareshaw Linn – a gentle 3.5-mile walk through one of Northumberland National Park’s most beautiful woodland settings.

Led by our volunteers and West Tynedale Health Walk Leaders, this relaxed walk takes in ancient woodland, wildlife, historic ironworks remains, and a stunning waterfall at the heart of the ‘Linn’.

A great way to get active, meet others and enjoy the calming benefits of nature.

This Walk to Wellbeing is part of the 70th Anniversary Walking Festival. For more information or to book search 'what's on' on our website.

It might feel cooler today, but warmer weather is on the way this weekend.
If you're heading out for a picnic, please don’t bring a BBQ. Wildfires pose a serious threat to the rare wildlife and delicate habitats that call the National Park home.
Help us protect this special place by:

Not starting fires
Taking litter home or using bins

Thank you for doing your bit to keep the National Park safe.

It was an early start for our Rangers who were out near Uswayford, capturing these shots while out on a wader bird survey.

Which is your favourite view? And who can tell us which hills are in the distance?

Step into 70 years of walking in Northumberland National Park

To celebrate its 70th anniversary, Northumberland National Park is hosting the 70th Anniversary Walking Festival – a chance, throughout the year, to explore some of the most breath-taking landscapes in the country while discovering the stories, wildlife and heritage that make this place so unique.

From gentle, short routes to more challenging hikes, there’s something for everyone – all led by knowledgeable volunteer guides who bring each journey to life.

We’ll be sharing walks from the festival programme each month, so you can get inspired, plan your next adventure and be part of this milestone year.

Whether you’re a regular walker or just starting out, it’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and experience the National Park from a fresh perspective.

👉 Stay tuned for our monthly walk highlights!
