Long Crag

Long Crag is a hill to the north of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It lies within the Thrunton Woods, a Forestry Commission-owned area of forestry plantations. Thrunton Woods have many marked trails provided by the Forestry Commission, and there are many routes to the summit.

Thrunton Wood

Thrunton Wood is an area of woodland and open moor, and is located 5 miles (8.0 kilometres) north of Rothbury, which in itself a small market town in Northumberland. It is a popular destination with walkers/hikers, mountain bikers and horse riders, and is home to two waymarked walking trails: Castle Hill walk (5 miles), and Crag Top walk (1 mile). There is an Iron Age fort on Castle Hill, and Thrunton Wood is home to several caves, including Macartney's Cave, once home to a local monk, and Thomas Wedderburn's Hole, where a local highwayman reputedly once hid from the law. It was heavily affected by Storm Arwen (back in November 2021) which made it mostly inaccessible to public due to a large number of fallen/uprooted trees. More recently, a lot of the trees have been cut down. There is also a popular trout fishery nearby, located just a quarter mile to the east.

Yetlington

Yetlington is a village in the civil parish of Callaly, in the county of Northumberland, England. Yetlington seems to have been known in the Middle Ages as Yatlington, and was owned by the de Clavering family.

Eslington Park

Eslington Park is a privately owned 18th-century mansion house west of Whittingham, Northumberland, near the River Aln. It is the family seat of Lord Ravensworth. It is a Grade II* listed building. Eslington, first mentioned in the reign of Edward III in 1335, was held in early times by a family who took that name. It later passed into the hands of the Hazelriggs, the Herons, and then the Collingwood's, who lost all when George, the head of the family, was executed for treason in 1716. The Liddells purchased the Eslington estates from the Crown, and the head of the family, Lord Ravensworth, became the chief landowner. There was a tower house at Eslington in 1415 in the ownership of Thomas Hesilrige. A survey of 1541 reported that the house, in the ownership of Hesilrige but occupied by Robert Collingwood, was in 'good reparation'. George Collingwood was attainted for his treasonable part in the Jacobite rising of 1715. His estate at Eslington was sequestered and sold by the Crown to George Liddell, great uncle of Thomas Henry Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth. Liddell built a new two-storey nine-bay mansion house on the site in about 1720, which was extended in 1796. George's grandson Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood (not born until 1748 would go onto become a loyal Hanoverian admiral).

Northumberland Sandstone Hills

The Northumberland Sandstone Hills are a major natural region in the English county of Northumberland. The hills form distinctive skylines with generally level tops, northwest facing scarps and craggy outcrops offering views to the Cheviots further west. The Northumberland Sandstone Hills lie not far from the coast of Northumberland and the region is listed as National Character Area no. 2 by Natural England, the UK Government's advisor on the natural environment. The region covers an area of 72,694 hectares (281 sq mi), beginning at Kyloe in the north and running in a strip roughly 10–15 kilometres (6–9 mi) wide and parallel to the coastal plain as far as Alnwick, where it changes direction to head southwest via Thrunton Wood, Rothbury Forest and Harwood Forest to the area of Throckington and the River Rede, passing over the highest peaks in the area, including Tosson Hill (1,444 feet (440 m)) in the Simonside Hills. The region has a range of semi-natural habitats: moorland with heather and rough, acid grassland mosaics on the thin, sandy soils of the higher steeper slopes and broken ground, transitioning through scrub, and oak or birch woodland to improved farmland and parkland on the lower slopes. Wet peaty flushes, mires, loughs and small reservoirs are dotted throughout the area and there are many caves, including St Cuthbert's Cave and Cateran Hole. Fifteen per cent of the NCA lies within the Northumberland National Park; it also contains one Special Protection Area – Holburn Lake & Moss – and three Special Areas of Conservation – Simonside Hills, Harbottle Moors, and River Tweed – as well as eighteen Sites of Special Scientific Interest, the SSIs totalling 3,771 hectares (14.6 sq mi). Its major watercourses are the rivers Aln, Till, Coquet, Font and Rede, and the Fallowlees Burn.
