Help improve our route
Help out!
One of Northumberland’s best long-distance walking routes is in need of assistance, to help manage the path and continue to attract walkers from near and far.
St. Oswald’s Way links places associated with the Anglo-Saxon Northumbrian king and saint and takes in many of the places that make Northumberland special, including Holy Island, coastal castles and Hadrian’s Wall.
The path is looked after and promoted by the St. Oswald’s Way Management Group. After writing the upcoming new guidebook, the current chair, Martin Paminter is retiring from his long-term voluntary role with the group. Martin said: “While I have greatly enjoyed my time working on St. Oswald’s Way, it’s now time for me to let others take the reins. With some lovely changes to the route and a new guidebook now available, it’s an exciting time for some new blood to take the path forward.”
The group are looking for people to help in various roles in the management of St. Oswald’s Way, including a new chair, secretary, and advisers to complement the existing team. They are also hoping to find new rangers to help maintain and survey the path.
Martin added: “If you have an interest in countryside access and long-distance walking, or knowledge that would help to manage St. Oswald’s Way successfully, it would be great if you could help out. All the roles are voluntary, so if you have a little time to spare and would like to know more, contact me on martin.paminter@stoswaldsway.com“
