St. Cuthbert's Way

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bridging the national border between Scotland and England, this inspiring 100km (62.5 miles) cross-border route links Melrose in the Scottish Borders, where St. Cuthbert started his religious life in 650AD, with Holy Island off the Northumberland Coast, his eventual resting place and his original pilgrimage shrine.

10.5 km

Yeavering Bell summit and hillfort

Highlight • Historical Site

On Yeavering Bell, you can explore the largest Iron Age hillfort in the region and see the remains of more than 100 roundhouses. There are spectacular views from the summit, too. Keep a look out for the elusive herd of wild goats that still graze the area after being brought over from the Middle East in Neolithic times.

Humbleton Hill Iron Age Fort

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
