Further along the road. Hulne Priory is seen to the right, in the middle distance.

You can cross the grass and climb the hill to the Priory. To use the path to the priory, follow the river round to a gate and go left uphill past some beehives and then left again to enter the Priory grounds

Leave the Priory and follow the path back down to the River Aln and continue to follow it through a riverside walk and parkland until you come to a bridge. The bridge sits over a weir.

Follow the Red and Blue trails back to the Park entrance. There may now be no access to this last part of the walk but follow he tail signs to be sure

Direction stone for Alnwick Abbey

The Gatehouse was built in the 14th Century by the De Vescy family. The original abbey was formed in 1147.

Follow the path past the cottage and through the large gate (Be careful this takes you out onto the Wooler road) The pavement is on the other side of the bridge. Cross back when it's safe to see the spectacular wier.

The path back to the start is at the end of the bridge.

For consideration, when using the countryside This selection of walks in Northumberland follow recognised public rights of way or permissive paths and should be easy for most people to negotiate: but please remember that wet and winter weather can make paths muddy in places and the summer months produce fresh growth of vegetation - so wear suitable clothing and footwear. If on any of these walks you find obstructions, or damage to stiles or footbridges which make paths impassible, please report these details as soon as possible to the countryside department of the Local or National Park authority responsible for the area. Relationships between local farmers and those who use the footpaths are generally very good and there is no reason why they should not remain so given reasonable attitudes and understanding. Remember that the countryside is the farmers' livelihood, so please observe the Country Code : keep to the paths; close gates after you ; and take care not to cause damage, or leave litter; keep your dog under control; and leave all wild flowers for others to enjoy. Taken from: Country Walks in East Tynedale by Philip R. B. Brooks (1978) NBM Sept 2009 Dogs in the countryside :- On Rights of Way - Dogs must be kept under close control, preferably on a short lead. On Access Land - 1) Keep your dog on a short lead from 1 March to 31 July this to protect ground nesting birds from disturbance 2) Local restrictions may include a ban on dogs. 3) Note that restrictions do not apply to Guide/Hearing dogs, or if you are using a public right of way
