Short Walks Around St. Oswald’s Way – Country

The Country short walks are circular walks based in the southern, inland part of St. Oswald’s Way and vary from 3 to 8 miles in length. Most of them are little more than a gentle stroll and give you plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, history and take in some of the local amenities. They give you the chance to see some of the beautiful landscapes and historical sites that make Northumberland special.
