St. Oswald's Way Countryside Short Walks
KIRKWHELPINGTON

Kirkwhelpington is an ancient, attractive old village in unspoilt countryside on the River Wansbeck, with hills and crags to the west and the coastal plain to the east.

The area surrounding the village has been farmed for many centuries, and nearby estates such as Wallington, now owned by the National Trust, show a more managed landscape that was partly created by one of the country's most famous gardeners, 'Capability' Brown.

Distance: 3 miles (5 km)

This walk is available in its own folded leaflet in a set of eight which are waterproof and rip-proof, including maps, route instructions and information about the places and features found on the walks. They provide inexpensive and invaluable information to plan these great days out on St. Oswald's Way in Northumberland.
