Are you interested in walking and able to walk between 6 to 8 miles of medium difficulty – then this group is for you.

We normally do circular walks of approximately 6 - 8 miles, with a different starting point no more than an hour's drive from Alnwick.

Walks will normally include a lunch stop so you will need to bring appropriate provisions. Dogs will be permitted on the walks but it is the responsibility of owners to ensure adequate control at all times.

If you are not a regular walker with this group, please contact the Group Leader to find out more.
