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.
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.
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.
The Hulne Park Yellow Route towards Brizlee Tower is a separate 6.6 km mapped walk. For a shorter outing around town, compare the Alnwick Pastures route. The Alnwick walks guide brings these options together.
