MODERATE
Simonside and Dove Crag Circular
You get proper crag-top views over the Cheviots and the coast for a genuinely modest amount of climbing, which makes this one of the best value short routes in the county.
HARD
Simonside and Dove Crag from Rothbury
Sandstone crags with a proper sense of drama, Iron Age rock art on the approach, and views stretching from the Cheviots to the Northumberland coast for less than 250m of climbing.
