It’s remote. It’s wild. And the views are spectacular!
A great walk to start our 2026 Festival, with riverside, woodland and the fells south of Haltwhistle. The fells here are rarely visited – more curlews than people - but the area is steeped in history with traces of iron age and medieval farming and habitation.
