A short woodland walk to Hindhope Linn, tucked away beside the burns in Redesdale Forest. From Blakehopeburnhaugh, cross the small bridge over Blakehope Burn and follow the forest road past the farm. Turn into the trees and follow the narrower path to the waterfall viewpoint, then return by the same route. This is a useful outing when you want to see the falls without taking on a longer forest circuit.
Allow about an hour, including time at the waterfall. The distance is modest, but the woodland path is uneven and can be muddy and slippery, particularly after rain. Wear boots and take care on roots and wet ground near the burn. Keep children away from the water and steep edges.
Start at the Forestry England visitor car park at Blakehopeburnhaugh, reached from Kielder Forest Drive near the A68. Parking charges apply. Toilets are seasonal, normally open from April to October; check the signs on arrival.
