Route
Meet at Ad Gefrin Museum and Distillery, Wooler, NE71 6NJ. We have permission to park at Ad Gefrin for this second day of our joint walking weekend with WYLDWA

Circular walk. Firstly through the streets of Wooler - a classic Northumbrian Town, where all the girls are beautiful. Then we walk west into the Northumberland National Park. We visit a number of iron age hillforts including Humbleton Hill. We make our way to Yeavering Bell, where there is always a good chance of seeing and smelling the famous 'feral' Cheviot Goats. We then drop down onto St Cuthbert's Way and follow that Long-distance Path back to Wooler

General Notes
If intending to come on this walk can you please contact Paul Nellist as we need to know numbers beforehand. Contact details below. Dogs are welcome on leads. At the end of this walk we have made arrangements to experience the Ad Gefrin museum. Light lunch will be provided in our own room within the building. The museum itself is free to peruse. The shop is not free - but it is excellent
