Short walk on from St. cuthberts cave. Well worth combining into a work in the area.

Humbleton Hill 298m P59 (978ft) (DoBIH Hill ID: 15993) [JNSA 13550] Northumberland National Park Definitive List summit. County of Northumberland Definitive List summit.

On a clear day, the panoramic views from the top of Humbleton Hill are superb. With steep slopes all around, it is easy to see why our Iron Age ancestors chose this particular spot to build a hillfort, overlooking the low-lying Milfield Plain and the North Sea beyond.

The impressive iron age fort atop Humbleton Hill offers commanding views over Glendale from its prominent location on the edge of the Cheviots – a fine defensive site, though surely often a windswept one. The 300-metre summit is a short and straightforward ascent from nearby Wooler.

The Schil is a rounded summit on the opposite side of the College Valley to the Cheviot. It has the distinction of being the last summit on the Pennine Way long-distance trail. From here, it's all downhill to Kirk Yeltholm. As well as from Yeltholm, another way to approach the hill is up the College Valley from Hethpool.
