| Cold Law, Broadhope Hill, Preston Hill, Hare Hill, Newton Tors and Coldburn Hill from Langleeford. Bagging 3 Deweys. Gale force winds and sodden underfoot added to the feeling of remoteness of this far northern corner of England. 21km in 6h20m. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 06/07/2020 |

| Parked at Langlee, then Langlee Crags, Hedgehope Hill, Comb Fell, Cairn Hill, The Cheviot and Broadhope Hill. Although the OS map shows a permissive path on the S side of the fence leading from Broadhope Hill there was actually a good quad bike track on the N side of the fence leading right up to the hill. Then hopped across a fence and followed track through heather to trig point in dark. The permissive path shown running down to the W side of Cockshaw Sike didn't exist but on reaching the vehicle track shown there was a good track on the E side of the stream leading all the way down to the road. | Wheelsy | 03/01/2019 |

| W Jenx, parked nr Coronation wood in Harthope valley. Up good track onto fine Cold Law, great views of snowy Cheviots. Onto Broadhope Hill via tracks and then to Scald Hill and bitingly cold Cheviot. Back down to Landleeford and walk back up valley road to start. A grand day! | nordicstar | 16/02/2014 |
| Circular walk around the various crags on both sides of the valley. Anti-clockwise. Great walk. | Walker Dan | 10/11/2013 |
| Walked from near Langleeford onto Cold Law and along minor trails to Broadhope Hill, up onto the main path climbing The Cheviot, walked towards Scottish border then across the pretty much pathless and very boggy Comb Fell, along ridge to Hedgehope Hill and back down to the car. A great 12 mile ridge walk in perfect weather. | DanTrig | 28/09/2013 |
