Superb walking holidays in Northern England with Sherpherds Walks Holidays

Rothbury & Coquetdale - Self Guided 3 days

The beautiful Coquet Valley lies in the heart of the Northumberland countryside with breathtaking views and inspiring landscapes and is home to some of the best walking in the country. Incredibly picturesque and rich in history it is quite simply one of the best destinations for a relaxed walking holiday.

As with many other parts of Northumberland the most asked question is 'where is everybody else?' The true sense of isolation combined with the scenery makes walking in Rothbury and Coquetdale the perfect destination for the person wanting a half day stroll right up to the more serious walker wanting something a little more strenuous. It literally has something for everybody. With this in mind, we are delighted to offer you a series of walks for you to choose from during your stay from the gentle walks to Whitton Hillhead and Harbottle Crags to the more strenuous routes on Simonside, known locally as the Sacred Mountain and Windy Gyle, one of the best known summits in Northumberland. All the walks have been written and well researched for this holiday by Jon Monks, the shepherd in Shepherds Walks and give full route descriptions and additional information about the area that bring the whole walk to life.

This is a superb short break combining stunning landscapes, history and unparalleled walking that will not leave you disappointed.
