Rothbury / Simonside walking routes



My friend did this one at Easter and said it was a good walk. I bookmarked as one to do at some point 👍

 
Can someone give a few tips on a reasonable length walk up around that way svp .

cheers.

Take the St. Oswalds way route south from the town, then pick up the path back north which skirts around Simonside and into Great Tosson before heading back to Rothbury.

You can extend the route easily if you wish.
 
Download an app called Alltrails. Never need to ask one of these questions again, just put a location in and it tells you walks of all different difficulty levels in the area, and it also has a map for each that you can follow on your phones GPS. The free version is fine.
 
Parked in the car park on the road coming in from Scots gap side .

Up along the top to Simonside then down to the forest road back to the car park , except it was the wrong car park.

Dragon never stopped moaning till we got back to the car , my mistake obviously , but not taking into account I’d never been there before.

Enjoyed it .
