A wet and wild hike through a glorious country park that's guaranteed to put the colour back in your cheeks.
Directions
1. Take the bridleway marked to Throckley from just north of the first car park reached as you enter the park. Continue on the gravelled path which passes under a very large pylon.
2. At the junction turn left on to the lane and walk down to the row of cottages. Turn right on to the road behind the cottages and follow it as it bends left.
3. Turn on to the Wylam Waggonway and follow it for about 1.5km. You will pass a golf course on your right.
4. At the end of the golf course you will find Stephenson's Cottage on your right. Immediately opposite the cottage go through a gate into a picnic area by the river. Head towards the river.
5. Turn left into the Northumberland Wildlife Trust nature reserve. Follow the path alongside the river. At the end of the reserve follow a path by the river if you can, but if it is slippery or overgrown rejoin the Waggonway, turning right on to it and following it for a short distance until you have passed the golf course.
6. Turn right on to the riverside footpath and follow the river downstream. Continue alongside the river back towards the walk start.
7. Turn away from the river to go behind the visitor centre and then through the car park of the Keelman's pub to find the start point.
The perfect walking workout is like an upside-down letter "U." You start slowly, rise up, then drop down to finish. That assures a built-in warm-up and cool-down in every walk.
