Hareshaw Linn Waterfall Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

Situated on the North Tyne River, Bellingham is a charming village of stone cottages and traditional pubs. The trails in the surrounding countryside are excellent and the village is a great base for exploring Kielder Forest to the west.

Another superb walk leaves the village for Hareshaw Linn waterfall, 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to the north. It is a spectacular cascade that is well worth a couple of hours' ramble.

Hareshaw Linn Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A superb little walk with a great reward at the end... You can start the walk from the beautiful village of Bellingham or there is a dedicated car park which is free. From the car park you simply follow the path up Hareshaw Burn, past the static caravan park and open fields to your right then once you enter the wooded area things start getting interesting... you'll pass two smaller waterfalls which have a small seating area to view then you continue up for about another half mile to reach the spectacular Hareshaw Linn. Overall the walk is pretty easy with well surfaced paths, beautiful scenery and an abundance of wildlife... suitable for all.
