The Walk
Close to the village of Stonehaugh,
this marked trail takes you from the Warksburn picnic
site, along the Grindstone Sike and into the Wark
Forest. This is an easy going and relatively flat
walk. Wark Forest, part of Kielder Forest, is well
off the tourist route. The trail I have chosen is
the longer of two. The shorter route is only about
750m or half a mile. This is a marked trail so there
is little point in going into too much detail.
The path starts by taking you along the bank of
the Grindstone Sike. You then take a right from
the stream and then venture into the woods. Eventually,
you will see the edge of the woods and a Forestry
Commission road. You will walk parallel to this.
A short and steady climb will eventually take you
to a point where you over look the car park.
