Geocache Description:

Solve a puzzle and walk from the parking co-ordinates to a view of rural Northumberland


The co-ordinates above are for the car parking area, then it's a walk of just under a mile to the cache.

Having lived most of my life in Northumberland and the Tyne Valley in particular I know there are lots of interesting places and lots has been written about Northumberland Viewpoints.  This cache is hidden with a view across the Tyne between Hexham and Corbridge that  gives a slightly different perspective to the usual view.  The fields change colour through the seasons from green in the spring, with the ever present oilseed rape flowering in May, then the red of poppies that flourish in some of the fields near here to the golden yellow of the harvest and the bare brown earth of winter.

Across the valley you can see Beaufront Castle, Sandhoe Hall and Stagshaw House (partially hidden among the trees) and to the east of the cache are the remains of Dilston Hall.

 

The co-ordinates are for the easiest parking place which is under a mile to the cache.  The paths can be muddy after rain so boots are advised.
