Brandon, Brough Law, and Wether Hill Circular Walk

Route Description for Brandon, Brough Law, and Wether Hill Circular Walk

If you feel like you are in the mood to traverse several undulating hills while experiencing sweeping views overlooking the picturesque countryside of Northumberland, then the Brandon, Brough Law, and Wether Hill Circular Walk is the perfect route to get you outside and exploring nature.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will head west along the road as it runs parallel to the winding River Breamish, passing through the village of Ingram before branching off to the left near the Bulby’s Wood Visitor Centre. Here, you will climb uphill alongside a stream to reach the summit of Brough Law.

After taking in the views, you will follow the trail as it bends to the south, traversing the summits of Ewe Hill, Cochrane Pike, and Wether Hill, before making your way down the slope to the northeast. Here, you will traverse the countryside to the northeast until you reach the edge of Ingram, where you will turn sharply to the southeast to pass between Snail Knowe on your right and East Hill on your left.

Turning northeast along the slopes of East Hill, you will eventually loop around the woodland terrain surrounding the Branton Ponds, taking some time to gaze out across the water before arriving back at the trailhead where you began your journey.
