The walk offers impressive vistas of the national park out to the domed Hedgehope Hills which have the second highest peak in Northumberland at 714m, and offer a chance to catch a glimpse of the lesser seen red squirrels which forage the forest floor for Scots pine cones.

The River Irthing flows above the village of Gilsland through the Irthing Gorge, flanked by sandstone crags for two miles. Within the upper section of the gorge, is the Crammel Linn waterfall, which stands at 7.6 metres tall and is one of the most attractive waterfalls in Northumberland. Peregrine falcons and ravens nest near the waterfall and derelict military structures can be seen upstream. The cliffs also gives rise to a famous sulphurous spring.
Hindhope Linn, Rochester
Address: Rochester NE19 1SW, United Kingdom
The serene Hindhope Linn waterfall is found in a tranquil dell and can be reached by taking the forest road past Blakehope Burn Haugh Farm. The walking trail offers views of the stunning waterfall and old trees like the Scots Pine and larch. The area also provides two picnic areas, a toilet block (open April-October), and access to the Pennine Way long-distance footpath.
Harthope Linn, Langleeford
Address: Langleeford NE71 6RG
Buried deep in Northumberland National Park’s Cheviot Hills, a 40-minute drive from Haggerston Castle Holiday Park, the Harthope Burn runs through the Harthope Valley. There are two waterfalls along that river that are worth visiting. The pathway to the waterfalls can be a bit tricky, with ankle-twisting steps and hidden holes, so it's best to visit in the summer or when there hasn't been much rain. For a bigger walk, visitors can head up the Cheviot Hills and back down the valley.
