As keen walkers in the region know, the North East boasts plenty beautiful locations to enjoy some outdoor exercise and they include a wide mix of areas from countryside to coast.
Region-wide beauty spots have their attractions in every season and winter is no exception. Now a new list of best British walking locations has been announced to mark The Festival of Winter Walks. The annual event, by walking organisation The Ramblers, has been running for more than 25 years and aims to encourage more people to explore the great outdoors.
In celebration of the festival, holiday home operator Verdant has revealed its top 10 wintery walks for Brits to explore during the colder season - and they include four in the North East: three of them in Northumberland and one in County Durham. It has used data which examines much-loved walking routes and ranks each based upon the least amount of rainfall and social media popularity.
