A linear walk from Langleeford exploring the Harthope Burn valley. Lying on the south flank of the Cheviot, the highest summit in the Northumberland National Park, the valley is wild with sheep the only inhabitants. Quiet and remote, the valley offers a peaceful walk in glorious surroundings. The route follows the Harthope Burn upstream to reach the waterfall of Harthope Linn.

After parking, head west up the road past to Langleeford Farm and take the track through a gate. The clear track up the valley passes farm buildings at Langleeford Hope (grid ref. NT933208). Shortly after the track ends and the route continues on the north side of Harthope Burn soon passing sheep pens before reaching Harthope Linn (grid ref. NT928203).
