Bagged on an adventurous circular walk from Eglingham via the Harehope Burn, Blawearie and Cateran Hill in gorgeous Good Friday sunshine, a perfect way to spend my birthday :-)

Parked in Eglingham to the S, walked along the by-way (you could drive a lot closer) nice stroll up, several Roe Deer seen on the way & a small flock of Brambling on the way back. Pillar good condition, great views.

My fifth visit, again short and simple route from the end of the lane but extended the walk N across Bewick Moor to the very special place that is the Cateran Hole, 4.5 miles there & back. Worth it! ~~ 15/09/21 Fourth visit, again at twilight to catch the sunset. Short and direct route up from Eglingham. Glorious skies tonight. ~~ 05/08/20 My third visit, third different route - this time parked at West Ditchburn and followed PROW NW towards Hagdon then cutting S down to the TP, then completing a circular route back to the car via Eglinghammoor. I'm liking this TP more and more with each visit. Lovely views at sunset tonight.

This was a last minute diversion, followed the farm track all the way up from Eglingham, at the top where the gate is I was able to access the trig easily after a quick jog. Horrendous weather so could appreciate any of the views which was a shame as I imagine they would have been spectacular

A short jog from the gate we had driven up to from Eglingham after an interesting walk up Old Bewick with it's Iron Age forts. This area had gorse, heather, sheep, rain and extensive views. Just about sums up my few days in Northumberland. Not sure where the name Curleheugh comes from.

Good views in all directions. Returned back down the track and just before reaching the car saw a Red Squirrel. Really glad I not only had my good camera with me but I'd brought the telephoto lens along too - result!

Moor far bigger and other worldly than expected, walk from Ros Castle - take a "short cut" as the downpours arrive - an hour of heather wading later walk the beautiful lane from Old Bewick back to Hepburn.

Revisit. For photographs and GPS reading. Eglingham Moor. Approached from Southeast. Parked on east verge of road at NU110208, just outside gate to access land. Through gate follow track ~200m to high point then left via open pasture to top. Pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces WSW ~239°. Vented through NE sight hole. 360° open outlook includes the Cheviot range. NOTE: Most recent maps show the mile long approach road from Eglingham village as uncoloured. This reflects the present state of the surface. Previous maps up to at least until 2009 indicate this as a yellow (unclassified metalled) road.
