| Start/Finish Road Junction, Rowhope Farm Road NT860115 Total distance 31.7km (19.7 miles) Time 4-6 hours Maps OS Landranger Sheet 80, Cheviot Hills & Kielder Water. Or Garmin GB Discoverer 1:25k Northumberland (GPS). Summary A long day out over the tops of the hills, taking in grassy paths, fire roads and excellent singletrack. Trails can be slow going in the wet. Starting at the road junction for Rowhope Farm, turn southeast and pedal down the road towards Alwinton for a 1km to Barrowburn. Turn left through the houses and onto the track up the valley up to Middle Hill. Pass through the gate and carry on down for 50m, keeping an eye out for the bridleway sign on the right that shows where you dive left through the trees. Path is around 20m before it rejoins a grassy track on the other side. Meet this and turn right. Follow it out the forest and over the hillside to cross another track. Follow grassy track ahead climbing north up the side of Hazely Law to summit at the cairn. On your left are the slabs of rock used as the pathway along the border. The first 200m of this path is footpath, so to follow the letter of the law jump the fence into Scotland for a few hundred metres and jump back to rejoin once it’s bridleway again. Follow this to the summit of Windy Gyle. At the summit turn left and descend for 200m before turning hard right and climbing. Follow grassy track along the summit, turning to rocky track in places. Drop down to a track junction. Turn left and through a gate, continuing to climb. Follow this track over the hills, finally dropping back down to where you started the day. At the road turn left. This is the point you could cut the ride short. For more cracking singletrack follow the trail back down the road, left and up to Middle Hill as you did first thing. Instead of branching left through the forest follow the track down to the right and over the small footbridge at Fairhaugh. Go round the back of the house on the obvious singletrack, join the track and turn left before taking the singletrack on your right. This trail follows the valley down to Batailshiel, where the right of way goes round the farm on the left – follow the signs. From the farm follow the track down the valley to Shillmoor, turning right when you reach the road. Follow the singletrack road back up to the start point, around 5km. | |||||

| Start/Finish Alwinton National Park car park Total distance 24.4km (15.1 miles) Time 2-3 hours Maps OS Landranger Sheet 80, Cheviot Hills & Kielder Water. Or Garmin GB Discoverer 1:25k Northumberland (GPS). Summary A long ride through the hills for an Easy route, but nothing technical and a great finish down the rolling ridgeline that is Clennell Street. From the main car park/toilets in Alwinton, turn right. The route follows the singletrack road for some miles, so just enjoy the ride. Follow the road for just over 10km until you reach a junction with a singletrack Tarmac road heading off on your right. Take this road and follow it through the farm at Rowhope and Trows, then splash through a ford – be careful as the surface under the water is very slippery, we used the wooden bridge on the right instead. Follow the track forking right up the hill and over into the next valley. Follow the bridleway round the head of the valley through forestry, and look out for the signposted bridleway junction. Turn right here down the grassy track for 100m, looking on your left for a gate. Pass through the gate and descend to a footbridge. Cross the bridge and climb the steep grassy track. As the track passes into the forest it becomes singletrack – quite muddy in places – but it soon turns to forest track for a blast through. You are now on Clennell Street, so follow the Clennell Street signs as it undulates its way down the ridgeline on beautiful grassy track, right back down into Alwinton. | |||||

| Start/Finish Alwinton National Park car park Total Distance 32.1km (19.9 miles) Total Time 3-5 hours Maps OS Landranger Sheet 80, Cheviot Hills & Kielder Water. Or Garmin GB Discoverer 1:25k Northumberland Summary A terrific route taking in the highest point in the area, Windy Gyle, pedalling through remote hill country with some superb singletrack on the way. From the parking area, turn right on the road out of Alwinton. After 1.5km look for the gate on your right signposted as a bridleway. Take this grassy path as it climbs across the hillside and undulates over to meet the road at Shillmoor. Turn right, taking to the farm track up the valley. At the farm of Batailshiel Haugh, the right of way has been diverted to the right of the farm buildings. Look for signs just before the farm gate and follow the trail round. Once back on the valley floor track continue north up the side of the Usway Burn. On reaching the remote house at Fairhaugh, stay right round the back of the house on the obvious singletrack, cross the footbridge and head left to climb doubletrack, (don’t follow the steep track directly in front). The track climbs up through a gate and onto open hillside before descending into the next valley. Drop down to the tearoom at Barrowburn and turn right on the road. Continue for just over 1km to the road junction. Turn right up to pass through Rowhope farm. Just after the ford, fork left up the steep grassy track. Follow this all the way to the summit of Windy Gyle. At the summit fence, take the path right where it quickly turns to rock slabs all the way along the summit ridge. About 200m before the end you will want to jump the fence and take to Scotland as it is officially footpath for a short distance. At the cairn (NT871160) turn right following the signs for Clennell Street and begin the grassy and muddy descent. When the grassy track meets a fire road, cross it onto grass for 100m. Go through the gate on your left and descend to a footbridge. Cross the bridge and climb steeply on grass track up to a forestry gate. Pass through the gate onto singletrack, which turns to forest road and ultimately to grass track as it descends down Clennell Street back to Alwinton. | |||||
