A lovely walk along a well preserved section of Hadrians Wall. It is a bit up and down with some steep inclines and some sections with steps up. Gives great views across Northumberland
6. Allen Banks and Staward Gorge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 91 reviews
Gorge of the River Allen with ornamental and ancient woodland Take a walk on the wild side at Allen Banks and Staward Gorge, one of the largest areas of ancient woodland in Northumberland. This extensive area of gorge and river scenery, including the 41-hectare (101-acre) Stawardpeel Site of Special Scientific Interest, has miles of waymarked walks through ornamental and ancient woods. Largely created by Susan Davidson, Allen Banks has become a fantastic home for flora, fauna and fungi. It is also well known for its carpet of bluebells and ramsons, commonly known as wild garlic, which covers the woodland floor in spring and early summer. Look out for the remains of a medieval pele tower and a reconstructed Victorian summer-house - and with over 70 species of birds spotted at Allen Banks as well as a wide range of wildlife you are never alone. All of the woodland area sits within the North Pennines AONB.

29/5/20 visited today not too busy £2 entry fee. New bridge as the older rickety one has been taken away. Did the circular walk and most people social distancing !! Take a snack and drink if you’re planning on staying for a bit as the little take away shop no longer there. There is a toilet which wasn’t too bad if you ignore the flaky paint ???? it was clean enough and had loo roll and free to use at the farmhouse. Lots of people enjoying the sun and a splash in the river, a great day and would return. Not much changed in the last 45 years or so, still a lovely spot.

Reviewed By Catty2910 - Peterborough, United Kingdom
Went during the Covid restrictions, but felt very safe with all the appropriate precautions. Hotel rooms ideal for the job. Golf courses. Priestman course on the first day, wet in places but they had had 4 inches of rain the week before, but still very much playable. Tough walk, but course very good. Hunting course on the second day, wow what a course. Prevailing wind certainly makes some the holes very hard but enjoyable. Definitely play it again Food was good but slightly overpriced. Bar and restaurant staff (especially Harriet in the Claret Jug, who was pleasant, funny amd had a great sense of humour) were excellent Overall, would recommend for a few days away golfing

This was our first visit to Wentworth Leisure Centre and our first bowling, the gentleman on duty was very kind and helpful. He was great with my autistic son and explained everything very well, I haven't been bowling for a long time so was a bit rusty. The games were great fun, the venue was clean and warm and the whole trip was great fun. going back again next week!!! Thanks
