Slow Ways linking Corbridge and Blanchland, Consett, Hexham, Knowesgate, Prudhoe

Corbridge’s five Slow Ways are 60% checked
Help connect Corbridge
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Corbridge’s Slow Ways.

We headed out of Corbridge along the main road before taking a left turn onto a quiet country lane and then re-joined the main road, which was manageable but not the most enjoyable....

We walked this route by starting at Corbridge train station and followed the river out towards Hexham. This is a very pleasant walk, which passes the wonderful Dilston Physic Garden https://dilstonphysicgarden.com/. We stopped for one of their delicious herbal teas and soaked up the medicinal gardens - it is such a tranquil space, well worth a visit if you have time!...

We headed out of town along the main road before taking a left turn onto a quiet country lane. We joined back up with the main road and walked along the grass verge for about 5-10 minutes. Setting off again we walked parallel to the train track and the River Tyne....

It begins along a pavement on a busy road out of Corbridge, breaking away for a while along a woodland track and lane before rejoining. It’s then footpaths following fields and then up a track and across more fields until finally you cross over the busy A695....

The Slow Ways route passes right by the entrance to this two-acre botanical garden. The remainder of the trail to Hexham was pretty straightforward walking through woodland, fields and suburb....

The highlight was stopping at Dilston Physic Garden, about a third of the way in, we had a delicious herbal tea and viewed the lovely medicinal gardens....

There is a mixture of walking on pavements and along quiet country lanes, with sections through agriculture and occasional woodland....

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. 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....

Hexham looked a lovely place with some interesting buildings, although it was a bit of a walk up from the station....

Out of the trees and through a meadow, we reach the clutch of houses, where we carry on along the unpaved road ahead, which soon becomes an overgrown tarmac path that leads to another path in long grass running alongside the A69. A stile brings us onto a bridge over thr main road; it's unpaved, but we soon head down another footpath. It's uphill here, and we soon reach Toftshill Plantation, an explosion of oak and rhododendron. Paved until the hall, ahead it's uphill along a narrow unpaved road. Unpaved drives around the school bring us to fields, and we're soon heading downhill towards the A69. Through a field of wheat, we soon come down into Ovingham, passing the church on an unpaved road, then across the footbridge over the Tyne and into Prudhoe. An uphill climb on pavements, passing the castle, we're soon in the centre of the town and the end of the route....

Once past the baronial mansion, the drive becomes more like a muddy farmtrack, until it transforms into an equally muddy footpath through the woods. Past the cottages, and once over the bridge, we're down some steps to a footpath running alongside the Devil's Water....

Points of Interest on this walk apart from the views are the Dilston Physic Garden in Dilston and the remains of the Roman Bridge as you near Corbridge....
Philip Le Marquand
As others have noted, this is a nice walk which is very easily navigable and accurately plotted. If you’re walking from Hexham, it begins with a bit of a climb (not good if you have mobility issues). Once up, it’s a steady downhill walk through woodlands and riverside into Corbridge....

The path then goes up the other side of the valley and out on to the road which goes to Dilston College....
Andy Spencer
Once out of Hexham (or before entering Hexham on reverse route) the route is entirely traffic free. Care is needed when the crossing of A695 at Dilston, but otherwise very easy to follow the route, and good underfoot all the way....

Definitely the best route between the two, although it might be easier navigation-wise to just follow the main Eastgate road out of town and up the hill....

The footpath from Brockhole Burn to Newton starts on the south west side of the field boundary and crosses it at the end of the first field - the OS map does not show this. The road through Newton is normally very quiet, but the short path shown on the map going from a minor road fork going north east does not exist....

An obvious alternative is to carry on to the top of Lead lane where the current suggested route turns right off the road, and to cross the road immediately west of New Ridley and to continue along the lane to Apperly to where the current route meets the lane....
