Superb walking holidays in Northern England with Sherpherds Walks Holidays

Heart of the Cheviots - Self Guided 3 days

Formed millions of years ago by volcanic lava flows, the Cheviots make for a wild, romantic landscape and are home to an abundance of wildlife which flourish in its clean unspoilt rivers and landscapes of windswept purple heather and grasslands. The hills are rich in prehistoric sites with evidence of Bronze and Iron Age settlements, rock art and medieval farming.

The Cheviots are quite simply a walker’s paradise and one of the few places where you can find peace and tranquillity and a true sense of wilderness. We are delighted to offer you a series of walks for you to choose from during your stay including the moderate routes of the Ingram Horseshoe and Broadstruther to the more strenuous routes of The Schil and of course The Cheviot, a must for visitors to Northumberland. At 2,676 feet The Cheviot is the highest point in Northumberland and the landscape is dominated by its unmistakeable silhouette. All the walks have been written and well researched for this holiday by Jon Monks, the shepherd in Shepherds Walks and give full route descriptions and additional information about the area that bring the whole walk to life.

If you are looking for superb walking country with a combination of wild beauty, stunning views and a sense of solitude, then this short break is for you.
