This must be one of the little known gems in Northumberland. One of the nicest short walks that we have in Northumberland.
This short woodland walk follows the Hart Burn for a short distance, with lots of interesting points to explore on the way.
This walk is suitable for people of all ages, including toddlers, but good shoes may be required.
Hartburn is one of the most attractive villages in Northumberland and is unspoilt by modern developments. There is a sound of water everywhere as the burn tumbles down the steep sided valley.
One of the nicest short walks in Northumberland and plenty of safe space for the family to explore if you take the children along on this walk.

After this was was reccommended as one of the best short walks in Northumberland I downloaded this route at the weekend.I took my two children on the walk and it is really good. Plenty of options and history for them to explore (especially the tunnell under the path) and we also took in the other things you mentioned on route.Thanks very much, it was a really good walk and nice to be able to let the children run free in a safe and interesting enviroment.Looking forward to trying the Hareshaw Linn walk next. Already downloaded it!
