Route by PaulWalkmates
This route sets off from Ponteland and keeps things easy underfoot, with very little climbing, making it a relaxed option that suits most walkers and works well if you’ve got a dog along for the day. You can leave the car in the town near the start point.
The walk threads its way through Ponteland Park before opening out into surrounding farmland, then loops on through the leafy streets of Darras Hall. It’s a varied outing, shifting between green spaces, riverside stretches and quieter residential roads, so it never feels repetitive.
Ponteland itself is a good place to linger, with plenty of cafés and pubs nearby if you fancy a drink or something to eat either side of the walk.
