Good to Know

Hareshaw Linn is a woodland walk in the Northumberland National Park, starting on the edge of Bellingham and following the Hareshaw Burn up a wooded gorge to a dramatic waterfall. The path crosses a series of footbridges through old oak, hazel and birch woodland rich in ferns, mosses and lichens, and there's a chance of red squirrels.

Why it's on our list: it's one of the loveliest short walks in the county, about three miles there and back, and the waterfall at the end is a proper reward.

Worth knowing: there's a car park at the start. The path can be muddy and slippery after rain, so wear good boots, and keep dogs on leads. Warm up afterwards at Tea on the Train or one of the village cafés.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.
