READERS of the Hexham Courant and followers of @hexhamcourant on Instagram have taken time out to share their favourite images which, for them, sum up winter in Tynedale.

And, with the Hadrian’s Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site, Northumberland National Park, and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) among the stunning views and landscapes on the doorstep, there was no shortage of images to choose from.
