About trip

Start at Beggars Rigg free public car park and picnic area just outside Rothbury.

At Little Church Rock (shown as Cave) the route shown continues upward through the forest on a faint path then a fire break, alternatively re-trace your steps to the forest track, take the path on the left and the left fork passing the Criss Cross stone to re-join this route.

From Lordenshaw's fort (268 m) the route follows a way-marked permissive path not shown on the OS map which follows the ridge line and passes some Bronze Age burial cairns.
