Northern Pennine Way Challenge Walk

A true test of endurance in Northumberland's wildest landscape.

The Northern Pennine Way Challenge is an unforgettable journey through the rugged heart of the Cheviot Hills.

After registering at Linbriggs Farm, participants are transported to one of three starting points – Byrness, Chew Green, or Rowhope Road End – before setting off on a stunning journey back.

All routes follow the Pennine Way, with a final push over Windy Gyle, one of the most iconic summits in the Cheviots. The grand finale sees you descend into the stunning Usway Burn Valley, before finishing at Linbriggs Farm, where a well-earned finisher’s goody bag awaits.
