Blanchland Moor

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

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.

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.

One of the many excellent tracks in the area. Rideable on a gravel bike, but more fun on a mountain bike.
