Walking in the Cheviot Hills, Northumberland
The upland scenery of the Cheviot massif is second to none with the Cheviot itself rising to 815m (2,674ft).
Here you can explore some of the best-preserved prehistoric hillforts in Britain. Place names evoke a time long gone such as Yeavering Bell, Brough Law and Humbleton Hill. The walks allow you to use our range of self-guided leaflets. The Cheviots also provide some of the best upland stretches for walking along The Pennine Way, Britain's best-known National Trail and St Cuthbert's Way.
When planning your walks, you will find the OS 'Explorer' Map No. OL16 'The Cheviot Hills' or the Harvey 'Superwalker' Cheviot Hills map useful for this area.
For a comprehensive list of walks in the area visit the Cheviot Walks website. The 10 mile, 5 hour The Alwinton Round climbs 645 metres and the 9 mile, 5 hour In The Shadow Of Cheviot climbs five quiet hills and involves a total ascent of some 720 metres.
If you need to order either of these maps what could be easier than to visit Harvey or Ordnance Survey direct.
