This year’s walkers can follow in the footsteps of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, who visited the Tees and Allen Valleys over 250 years ago.
This three-day trail was devised by festival stalwart Ann Potter, and will take walkers through three different operating chapels and a number of mining locations where John preached.
There are 22 guided walks available. For the leisurely walker the Waters’ Meet Walk will pass through the salmon leap and gives walkers a chance to possibly spot the fish jumping.
More experienced walkers might enjoy the eight-mile Roman Experience trail which covers Crindledykes and the Wall, or the Long Weekend Walk from Wark to Housesteads which will pass through a prehistoric burial site now open to the public.
The festival runs from September 29 to October 7 and a full list of walks can be found on the Haltwhistle Autumn Festival website.
