Northumberland walking trail to 'beautiful' waterfall set to reopen after landslip

A popular Northumberland National Park walking route is set to reopen in July after it has been closed for almost two months.

Poor weather forced the Northumberland National Park (NNP) authority to close the walking route to the picturesque Haresaw Linn waterfall near to Bellingham.

Work will start tomorrow (Monday July 3) to address the landslip on the walking route towards the waterfall and the footpath will be aligned to reroute the access path.

The work is expected to take a minimum of two weeks and it is hoped that full access will be restored and visitors can once again enjoy Hareshaw Linn from mid-July.

Further updates will be provided on Northumberland National Park Authortiy's social media channels and website when the site is fully re-opened.

In Victorian times, Hareshaw Linn drew tourists from all over the country. The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the rare ferns and lichen, with more than 300 different types of mosses, liverworts and lichen found there.

Wildlife such as red squirrels, woodpeckers, redstarts, dippers, badgers and bats can also be spotted if you know where to look.
