Carrier's Way Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Rumoured to have existed since prehistory, the Carrier's Way was used by pack pony drivers (carriers) transporting smelted lead to the River Tyne during the 17th century.

Their industry gave us this wonderful little trail across Burntshieldhaugh Fell.

An ancient road (there are so many around here), this one originally ran from Blanchland to Hexham. It's very pretty, and the going's good and firm.
