Wellbeing Walk - Thrunton Woods Circular

Category 1/2 Walk – Easy/Moderate. A selection of trail and path that involves some ascent and descent. Total distance is 10.3km (6.4miles). Total elevation gain is 355m.

Set off is 10am.

Overview:

Starting and finishing at Thrunton Woods car park, this is a fantastic trail that takes you through the woods, offering breathtaking views of the Cheviots. 

The walk takes us from the car park where we follow a path that heads north-west and then west to Castle Hill (the site of an ancient prehistoric/ Iron Age fort). We then head south through Thrunton Woods, passing Coe Hill and looping back to the car park. 

This walk is challenging in parts with a long, steady ascent. However, the views along the way and from the top make it worth it.  

There are coffee shops and pubs in Rothbury which is closeby to grab some food and drink before heading home.
