EP 3 Hexham to Ladycross - The Grand Tour of Northumberland
23rd September 2018
Join us on our walk of historic Northumberland as we continue our hike. Packed full of history and beautiful scenery. UK hiking at its best in England's least populated county.
Please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss any future sections.
Please consider supporting me by buying me a coffee:
Section 3: Hexham to Ladycross
In this section we start by exploring some of the sites in Hexham. The Old Gaol, England's oldest purpose built prison, the moot hall, and the Abbey with its Anglo-Saxon crypt. We leave Hexham and head to the pub... The Dilston Inn; where they brew their own excellent beer. From here we pass the remains of Dukesfield Lead Smelt Works, at the time when it first opened it would've been one of the largest such sites in the country; now just two arches and a wheel housing remain. Passing the remains of another old smelt works we make our way to Ladycross Quarry; thus ending section 3.
This is a shorter walk after the 16 miles from the previous walk and fewer but equally spectacular points of interest as we move away from the Tyne Valley and into the wilds of Southeast Northumberland.
Please subscribe so that you don't miss any of the next 49+ walks.
To be continued...

In the Suffolk countryside, between Bury St. Edmunds and Sudbury, this beautiful 15th-century building offers 4-star accommodations and a restaurant with 2 AA Rosettes for its fine food.
Lavenham is one of the best-preserved Tudor villages in Britain, and The Swan is perhaps one of England's finest historic hotels. The building has been carefully restored and beautifully renovated, with ancient oak beams, large open fireplaces and a minstrel gallery.
Decorated in warm, relaxing colors, the rooms with private bathrooms combine historic features with modern facilities. Each includes a flat-screen plasma TV and facilities for making tea and coffee.
The Swan serves modern British cuisine, made using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can dine in the informal Garden Lounge and historic Old Bar. Outdoor dining is possible on the grounds, as well as fine dining in the Gallery Restaurant.
High Cup Nick (Via Great Rundale Tarn), North Pennines - 16 October 2011
A 10½ mile circular walk from Dufton to High Cup Nick via Great Rundale Tarn in the North Pennines.
The start is the village of Dufton (Grid ref. NY689249) a few miles north along a minor road from the A66 at Appleby-in-Westmoreland. Exit the car park and walk back towards Appleby (south) following the road around to the left. Where the lane turns right walk straight ahead along a lane. Keep to the right where the track divides (Grid ref. NY 691 252) and with improving views ahead climb steadily with conically shaped Dufton Pike to your left. Having reached a col due east of Dufton Pike the track descends slightly before entering a deep steep sided valley where evidence of former mine working can be seen. The track continues to climb towards a shooting cabin. From here the northern shore of Great Runsdale Tarn is just over a hundred metres south.
Turn left along the shore and locate the outflow. This is Tarn Sike and needs to be followed downstream for approximately 2.5 km where it becomes Maize Beck. The section from Great Runsdale Tarn to the bridge on the Pennine Way over Maize Beck could be very wet underfoot after rain with an added risk of flash floods. Care is therefore needed. Despite this warning, crossing this desolate moorland is easy from a navigational point of view provided you do not stray from the beck.There is a faint path and it will probably be fairly damp underfoot so be prepared for some bog trotting as my friend Cally found out!
Reaching a footbridge over Maize Beck means that you have reached the Pennine Way. Turn right (southwest) to follow this National Trail, which is marked by posts, across a limestone pavement to reach spectacular High Cup Nick. This is where the Whin Sill, which is formed of blue-grey dolerite, has provided extra resistance to glaciers and formed one of the most spectacular natural features in the UK. After spending some time taking in the view, follow the wide path along the northern rim. This is again the Pennine Way and is followed all the way back to Dufton. On reaching the road through the village, turn right and follow it back to the start. Music by Depeche Mode -- Walking In My Shoes, Kings of Leon -- Sex On Fire & The Stone Roses -- Made of Stone
