| On a lovely walk from the Hethpool stone circles to Wooler, taking in Little Hetha Camp and various other hillforts/settlements following the footpath then bridleway along the northern ridge of the hills. Yeavering Bell is very impressive (although very cold and windy), with excellent views the north. A great day out, other than being bitten by a tick at some point on the hills east of here. | thesweetcheat | 17/10/2019 |

| Room for a couple of cars at the junction of the Old Yeavering lane (alt 71m), although other smaller cars can park down the lane itself. There is a good, waymarked path all the way to the summit. Makes sense to include White Law as well. | moorsman | 01/08/2017 |
