A stimulating, waymarked walk offering fine views of the hills above the College Valley and of the eastern Cheviots, both seen at their best on a clear day.
The ascents on this route are never severe along the way and the paths and tracks are distinct and generally firm underfoot. It is, however, recommended that walking boots be worn as low-lying sections can be squelchy after heavy rain.
