Northumberland

Best British Days Out (The Times, June 2007)

BREEZY HILLTOP @ Great Hetha
Maximum views for minimum effort? Step forward Great Hetha. It's a 20-minute scramble to the top from the bridleway beside the College Burn, south of Hethpool, and for that you get a million-mile panorama of the Cheviot hills - flaming heather, bottle-brush pines, Iron Age hill forts spiking every summit. And breezes so brisk, they'll blow the bags out from under your eyes. For a map of the Great Hetha route, visit www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk/ hethas_hike.pdf
