Easy

Legends abound here.

Part of the route includes a short section of the St Cuthbert's Way trail and we will detour to take a look at the sandstone cave which may have provided shelter to the saint, or his remains when they were transported from Lindisfarne by loyal monks escaping the Viking invaders.

We could also encounter red squirrels when the route takes us through quiet woodland.
