Route Changes
St Oswald’s Way has changed its route several times over the years. Many of the changes are recent and have been due to aligning the route with a new National Trail, the England Coast Path. Our new Official Guidebook shows the correct line and can be obtained here.
Changes to the route shown in the new guidebook are shown below.
The old route along the coast will also be available for the foreseeable future.
Information Panel
Sections 5 & 6 (Kirkwhelpington Village Hall)
The Information Panel on the Kirkwhelpington village hall has been temporarily removed. The frame holding the panel had deteriorated and the panel was no longer secure. The panel itself and its associated rubbing panel are in the post office which is inside the village hall. When the post office is open it may be possible to see the panel and to make a raven rubbing. However, until such time as we have been able to re-fix the panel on the outside we will accept requests for a completion certificate with a photograph of the empty board outside.
