Walk the Alnwick Greenway and surrounding field paths on this 6 km (3.7-mile) circular route. It is graded medium on Walkmates, with an estimated walking time of one hour and 45 minutes. The field and golf-course sections make it a different outing from staying on the Greenway throughout.
A fairly short walk, starting at the grounds Alnwick Junior FC.
It starts by joining the Alnwick Greenway, a disused railway line that was the Alnwick-Wooler (+ Cornhill) line. It's been beautifully restored into a proper walking and cycling path. Follow the greenway, until eventually splitting off over some open grass land. Judging by the signs, there may be cows with calves, or a bull in the field. Though this will be seasonal. Follow the public footpath through the fields, through some gates. You'll see beautiful views down over the Northumberland countryside and towards the coast.
You'll be heading in towards town, though you won't get this far, instead you'll take the path just before the golf club, which will take you on a public way over the golf course. Of course be mindful of balls flying. From here you'll go down the side of the estate, and return to the Alnwick Juniors FC.
It's definitely worth a trip if you have a couple of spare hours. Nothing too strenuous. The fields can get muddy though, so wear appropriate footwear, especially if there's been rain recently.
Enjoy!
If you want to remain on the Greenway, compare the Friday Greenway Lunch Loop, a roughly 4 km out-and-back route. Check the map and meeting arrangements before travelling; the route's starting point is not a guarantee of permission to use the football club's parking. See the Alnwick walks guide for more choices.
