This tour includes the highest green lane in England that once served the regions lead mine industry; it is not uncommon for there to be snow on the tops early spring and late autumn. The North Pennines was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1988 for its moorland scenery, the product of centuries of farming and lead-mining.

This gentle tour runs parallel to Hadrian’s Wall in places with views along the Tyne Valley with trails following the North and South Tyne Rivers. Bordering three counties the Tyne Valley, most famous for being home to Hadrian’s Wall, has countless experiences and breath-taking scenery to be discovered. Over 2,000 years have passed since the Emperor Hadrian gave his orders for work on the 84-mile-long Wall to commence, yet the 73 miles of this Roman mega structure that snake across Northumberland’s craggy bluffs and high ridges are some of the best preserved sections.
