Great route following the former railway, now the River Tyne Trail and National Cycle Route 68....

I walked this route, starting at Haltwhistle and finishing at Brampton. Coming out of Haltwhistle, the route recommends a rather circuitious diversion involving crossing the South Tyne twice. I found the eastern part quite straightforward, with the bridleway here quite clear and the ground fairly firm. The views here are possibly the most dramatic on the route, with the vast expanse of Cold Fell to the south a sight to behold, as well as good views into the valleys to the north. Before long you begin to reach a proper farm track again and the route becomes much easier going. From Hallbankgate to Brampton the route is fairly straightforward....
