Plans to create hundreds of kilometres of free trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders across some of Northumberland's most dramatic landscapes have moved a step closer.
A partnership of the council, the Northumberland National Park Authority, Forestry England, the Kielder Water and Forest Park Trust and a number of local cycling enthusiasts, is looking to create 350km of trails to enable greater access to both Hadrian's Wall and Kielder Forest.
The routes will be traffic free and focused on cyclists, walkers, horse riders and those less able.
