About this walk

The mapped Greenway route is 4 km (2.5 miles) out and back, with an estimated walking time of one hour. It is graded easy on Walkmates. The route description below explains the author's usual lunchtime walk.

Starting at Alnwick Junior FC, this is a Friday lunchtime walk I’ve been doing for a while.

We head along the Greenway to the bridge and back. Flat, well-paved and easy. Around an hour at a relaxed pace.

Ideal if you work from home or have a spare hour on a Friday. Kids and dogs welcome.

I’ll be there most Fridays at 12:30 (often with my wife). If you fancy a bit of company for your lunchtime stretch, you’re very welcome to join.

No pressure. Just a walk.

Check the current meeting arrangements

For a group outing, check the upcoming dates on this page and confirm the meeting with the organiser before travelling. The description's usual Friday time does not guarantee that a walk is taking place on a particular date.

For a longer circuit that leaves the Greenway for fields and the golf course, compare the Alnwick Juniors FC Loop. Browse the Alnwick walks guide for other local options.

Joining a walk

A few things to know before you make plans.

Can I join if no one else is going?

You can be the first to join a scheduled walk. A suggested date is an idea for a group walk; choose Set this date up to organise it. Check the participant list and meeting details before setting off.

What if there is no date yet?

Choose Put a date on this walk to organise a group walk. Not ready to choose a day? Follow the route for scheduling updates, or save it for later.

What does the organiser do?

The organiser sets the date and meeting details and helps the group get started. They are a fellow walker and may be new to the route too.

Each walker is responsible for their own safety and navigation. Check the route, weather, equipment and whether the walk suits your experience and fitness.

Can I walk this route on my own?

Yes. Choose Walk this route on your own to open the start screen, then start when you are ready. Finish the walk to add it to your walking history. You do not need a group date.

What happens after I join?

Use the walk page to check meeting details, updates and who is going. Check in from 24 hours before the start to let the group know you still plan to come.

How do I confirm plans with the group?

Check the participant list and check-ins, and message the organiser or other walkers to confirm where to meet and who is coming. This is especially useful when the group is small.
