Explore the wild borderlands between Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Borders on this Northumberland Reivers Trails holiday and follow the lawless territories that were raided by the Scottish and English between the 14th and 17th Centuries. The tour winds its way through England’s largest forest taking in parts of the vast network of forest trails and nearby moorland bridleways, byways and quiet backroads. The rolling hills of Reivers’ country open up spectacular vistas across the forest landscape taking in Kielder Water – Europe’s largest man-made lake – and its artwork, cultural and wildlife attractions. The area is also a magnet for stargazers, with Northumberland’s International Dark Sky Park being the largest in the UK.

A mix of B&Bs, country inns and small family-run hotels are used on tour.

In Newcastle, where you'll start and finish the tour, the centrally based Hilton Gateshead/Newcastle on the quayside is used. Although much larger than the majority of the accommodation used it is well placed for pick-ups and drop-offs and situated a short distance from the Newcastle Central train station.

Where possible locally owned businesses and those offering locally sourced food, drink and speciality products are prioritised. This all promotes sustainability in-line with a responsible travel policy.

The trip is operated on a double/twin-share basis. Single occupancy rooms can be provided for a supplement and are subject to availability at the time of booking
