St Cuthbert's Way #7: misty, which restricted the views but an excellent stopping point to escape the flies of St Cuthbert's Cave. Many notices objecting to Middleton Burn wind farm - perhaps they should start on the extensive peat cutting E of this trig which is a mess. S s/hole open, FB white painted, metal cap deep letters, vgc.

Visited after doing circular walk from Holburn Grange to St Cuthberts Cave and Swinhoe Farm. What a superb viewpoint. This is as good as Ros Castle just to the south for views of the Cheviots and the coast. Easy ascent from the cave to reach this one, surrounding ground is dry with a good path to trig. Got there, had a bite to eat on a nice but chilly day, then watched the sunset behind Cheviot and Hedgehope. Then to the Bluebell in Belford for a few pints of Black Sheep, superb!

It was getting dark but the Cheviots, Holy and the Farne islands were well depicted. This trig can be done as a circular with the well hidden Sheperdskirk Hill

I visited this while walking St. Cuthbert's Way. This was my first view of Holy Island, and it was good to have the end literally in sight!
