Hi everyone,
Yesterday, we decided to stretch our legs with a little walk up The National Trusts Roseberry Topping in Newton Under Roseberry which is just over an hour away from South Shields. The site is free to visit and there is car park at the base that is pay per hour although we noticed several other free of charge options on the way out.
The walk is advertised as around 30 minutes. We took a leisurely stroll and did the walk in about an hour each way so I would be surprised at anyone completing the full walk in 30 minutes unless they are very fit. The trail is suitable for all ages, we saw toddlers and walkers of an older age climbing to the summit. The climb is steep but not too taxing. There are many points to stop for a rest and even if you don't make it to the very top the views all the way up are stunning.
The walk takes you through the forest by the old hunting hut and on to the top of Roseberry Topping. Just to reiterate there are stunning views along the way up.
We were lucky enough to have a magical moment when we got to the top as it started to snow which just topped a memorable day.
There are public toilets located in the car park along with picnic benches.
