About this walk

Walk through Hulne Park via Hulne Abbey on this mapped 8 km (5-mile) circular route near Alnwick. It is graded easy on Walkmates, with an estimated walking time of three hours before longer stops.

A longer estate walk

Use the map to follow the complete circuit through the estate and check how the abbey visit fits into the route. The walk combines estate paths and tracks; take footwear for the day's conditions and allow time for the return rather than treating the abbey as the end of the walk.

Plan around the park's opening

Northumberland Estates' visitor information gives Hulne Park's usual opening as 11am to 4pm, with gates closed outside that period. Additional closures can apply. Check current notices before setting off and allow enough time to complete the walk before closing. Dogs and cyclists are not permitted in the park.

Compare another local walk

Joining a walk

A few things to know before you make plans.

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?

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.
