Route Description for Eltringham Bridleway Walk
Featuring a relaxing woodland atmosphere right in the heart of Prudhoe, the Eltringham Bridleway Walk is a perfect route for those times when you need to get outside and reconnect with nature, without actually having to leave the city.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the southwest through the lovely landscape of Prudhoe Riverside Park, before crossing over a railway line. Here, you will enter into the dense cover of Eltringham Wood and keep right along the banks of the River Tyne, before turning to the south to skirt around a few buildings.
Continuing along the trail leading west, you will follow the treeline and enjoy views across the beautiful fields surrounding you, eventually arriving at the end point of the route near to where Station Bank Road meets the railway line. At this point, you will turn back along the trail and follow it east, skirting around the right side of the buildings to re-enter Eltringham Wood. Continuing to the northeast, you will once again cross over the railway line and pass through Prudhoe Riverside Park on the return to the car park.
