Since the weather wasn't brilliant, we decided to make today the last day. We left the site and drove to Bardon Mill and parked near the station. We were doing a circular walk which started by crossing a bridge over the River South Tyne.
The path took us to the village of Beltingham, which had a nice church with old yew trees in the grounds.
We then went across farmland towards a gorge above the River Allen.
The high path at the side of the gorge is known as Allen Banks. There are a few disused old summer houses there.
We went as far as a ruined castle called Staward Peel. There wasn't much left of it though, as all the stone had been removed locally to build houses.
We came back along the side of the Allen River.
The walk finished by following a faint right of way through some fields.
After reaching the van we drove in to Sainsburys in Haltwhistle before making our way home, arriving about 6pm.
