Whenever we come here for a walk on a Sunday afternoon, we park under the majestic avenue of beech trees that lead from Whittingham along towards the Callaly estate. N 55 23 063 W 001 54 566
We walk up to Castle Hill ( Thrunton woods #3 ) down the other side and on towards the crags. In one of the huge fantastic rocks among the heather ( Not Paul’s ) is Macartney's Cave, a little oratory hewn out of the sandstone by a former chaplain of Callaly Castle From Callaly Crags is seen one of the most beautiful and diversified scenes in Northumberland, over Whittingham Vale and the Cheviots.
The crags form part of a ridge which, after bounding the valleys of Till and Breamish, rise above Doddington, form Ros Castle at Chillingham, and sweep round by Beanley and Alnwick Moor to Thrunton. A little higher up near the summit of the crags are some curious boundary stones carved with a Maltese cross
