Northumberland National Park forced to close popular walking route to waterfall due to landslides and 'severe rain damage'

Poor weather has forced the Northumberland National Park (NNP) authority to close the walking route to the picturesque Haresaw Linn waterfall near to Bellingham.

Heavy rain over the weekend has caused landslides and damage to the path, NNP said. There are also understood to be a number of fallen trees, with the national park authority saying the issues are "severe" and that it "may take some time" to repair and make the path safe.

The public is asked not to visit the area, with NNP saying updates will be provided on its social media channels.
