The Walks

Returning to Northumberland with a dog after a 25 year absence I found it hard to find good walks for the two of us. This site is about shorter walks, places that you can take your dog for an hour or two and enjoy the countryside.
What do I call a good walk? First, I need somewhere to park my car. Then I wanted a walk that was safe for Meche the terrier. No walking alongside roads for any distance and preferrably somewhere she could walk without needing to be on a lead. Then I like a convenient poo bin. I'm a responsible dog walker, but I'd rather not bring a full poo bag back with me in the car. An interesting walk is also nice, not just a walk over a field. We like woods and Meche especially liked splashing through streams chasing stones. A bonus is a cafe or pub where I could enjoy a well earned coffee or pint after the walk.
