Description
I wanted to create a route that avoided the unpleasant dual carriageway crossing of Corpru One. I looked at Parmstrong’s suggestion, which added some tourism/visitor destinations, and added two miles, but still had the A69 road crossing, so I found a route further south. TAKE NOTE of the footpath diversion included in my route at Merry Shield/Green Hill to the north east of Stocksfield, which is much better than the original shown on the OS Map, made very unfriendly by the landowner, I think for quarrying

19 Jun 2024I walked this route from Corbridge to Pruhoe. I do endorse the previous review. There is a mixture of walking on pavements and along quiet country lanes, with sections through agriculture and occasional woodland. I enjoyed this very much. It was not technically difficult. I would certainly recommend this route.

19 Jun 2024The first part of the walk from Corbridge was the same as Corpru One, where parts of the pavement along the B6530 are a bit narrow. At Thornbrough we returned towards the busy B road for a short section of verge-walking before turning off along a very quiet road designated as cycle route 72. This turned out to be very pleasant, with occasional signs reminding the rare drivers to drive carefully.
Eventually we crossed the River Tyne and a slightly tricky road, to Stocksfield Station (trains available into Newcastle), where we had to cross the railway by a pretty stepped footbridge. There is a Post Office and convenience store here (closed Sundays) but unfortunately no further facilities.
After heading down the side of the cricket club, we reached the footpath diversion which I have included on the gpx file. It was initially partly-obscured by vegetation but turned out to be quite a good path, although the next section was a little overgrown in places.
A small ladder stile took us to walk along the side of a field, then onto a traffic-free lane.
The A695 was fairly busy to cross, but there was good visibility and we managed it easily in the rush hour. A few housing streets led us along, then up, to the Prudhoe shops and buses.
