Publisher's Synopsis
NORTHUMBERLAND NATIONAL PARK CONTAINS SOME OF THE FINEST WALKING COUNTRY IN BRITAIN, MILE UPON MILE OF ROLLING BORDER HILLS, THE PENNINE WAY, THE WHIN SILL AND HADRIAN'S WALL. IT IS THE LEAST POPULATED OF ALL THE NATIONAL PARKS AND HAS AN INCOMPARABLE ATMOSPHERE OF WILDERNESS. THE COUNTRYSIDE, COMPRISING FARMS AND FORESTS, MOORS AND MIRES, IS LITTERED WITH ANCIENT MONUMENTS AND BATTLEFIELDS, AND THERE ARE PLACES WHERE TIME PASSES SLOWLY AND THE AIR IS FULL OF THE SOUND OF CURLEWS AND THE SCENT OF HEATHER.
