Join us for a festive winter wander through one of England's most atmospheric gems. Blanchland is a tiny medieval village built from the stones of a dissolved abbey, tucked deep in the countryside, 45 minutes outside of Newcastle. It feels almost unchanged by time with quiet lanes, ancient walls, and stories woven into every stone. This 4.3 mile easy circular route takes us off grid across fields and upland tracks, looping through peaceful countryside with wide views across the English hills. Expect wintry air, crunchy grass, and rolling scenery.
