Category 1 Walk – Easy. A selection of trial and path that involve little uphill and downhill. Total distance is 9.7km (6miles).

Linhope Spout is a plunge pool, so there is the option to take a dip (weather permitting).

Set off is 10am.

Starting and finishing at Ingram Church Car Park and heading in a clockwise direction, the trail goes through Hartside, up the valley to Linhope Spout – a beautiful waterfall nestled in the Northumberland landscape, then back down and onwards along the River Breamish, before circling southwards and back around the trailhead. 

Linhope Spout is a plunge pool, so weather permitting, you can take a dip. 

There are couple of hills to climb along the route, but these are gentle ascents and descents. 

Some of the paths can get a bit muddy following periods of bad weather, so good waterproof walking boots or shoes are needed. 

At the end of the walk, there is a coffee shop in Ingram to grab a drink and cake before heading home.
