The Baa Pub, Hostel and Viking Statues

Highlight • Pub

The Baa is a hostel and campsite with its own pub.

This small, unique and quirky little pub has a cobblestone floor and plenty of sheep related decorations. It serves local ales and its own range of sheep themed cocktails.

In the garden are giant viking statues, thought to have been used as film props for the series Beowulf.

Rutted Track Between Bolt Law and Parkhead

Smashing track linking Bolt Law and Parkhead, but is quite deeply rutted in places, so beware pedals clashing with the sides

Boltslaw Incline and Ruins

Highlight • Trail

part of the off-road section of the C2C. Most of it should be ok for gravel bikes but first part probably needs a mountain bike.

View from the Top of Bale Hill towards Buckshott Fell

If you climbed up from Blanchland along Bale Hill give yourself a pat on the back, time for a breather before the delights of Buckshott Fell.

Buckshott Fell and Edmondbyers Common Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Something of a long trail for a Highlight, this - but it's totally fabulous. The trail along the tops here (Buckshott Fell, Chop Hardy and Edmondbyers Common) is an old lead mining route.

Run from east to west it's broadly downhill single and doubletrack with glorious views. It's a total dream of a trail, with the odd ford to keep you interested and your toes nicely moist.

Edmundbyers

Highlight • Settlement

One of a few small scenic villages along the quieter roads after Blanchland alongside Derwent reservoir.

July 25, 2025,Boltslaw incline. – Bolt's Law loop from Edmundbyers

Some of the paths we're overgrown and not visible in the heather . Had to lift over one stile and a gate but otherwise a nice workout with lovely views
