Corbridge Hill

Walking routes we keep coming back to โ€” with honest distances and where the mud is.

The ridge loop

7.5 km2 h 15moderate

Steep for the first twenty minutes, then flat along the top with views both ways. Best on a clear morning; miserable in fog.

River and mill

4 km1 h 10easy

Follows the water almost the whole way. The field after the footbridge floods every winter โ€” boots, not trainers.

Beech wood circuit

5.8 km1 h 40easy

At its best in late October. Paths are wide and dry under the trees even after rain. Good one for a slow Sunday.

Three stiles

10 km3 hharder

Long and lumpy, with a short section on a quiet lane. The second stile is falling apart; climb carefully.

Times are for an unhurried pace with a stop or two. Conditions change through the year โ€” treat these as notes, not guarantees.
