We walked the Harthope Valley and up The Cheviot with Patrick today and had a thoroughly enjoyable walk in an area and on hills that we would never have managed or attempted on our own. Patrick is a wonderful guide, calm and patient as well...More
Having had the pleasure of Patrick guiding me for a week along Hadrians wall last August I was keen to try out one of his own walks. The pilgrims way causeway walk to holy island is a walk I have always promised myself I would...More
Enjoyed the food and experience just as much the 2nd time. We had rack of lamb, fish curry, Pork Wellington, stuffed peppers risotto and steak. Every one was excellently cooked, presented very well and tasted second to none. Desserts were every bit as good. We...More
Hi Fiona, thank you for your review, but we are a guided walks business, not a restaurant, although it does sound very good.
Patrick was the perfect person for out two day guided walks on part of the Northumberland coastal path last week. Before we had even flown in from Switzerland, he was an enormous help to me in planning the week. Nothing was too much trouble and...More

Hi, many thanks for your review; the Pilgrim's Way to Holy Island on a fine sunny day in Spring is hard to beat and the weather in Northumberland for you this week has been perfect. I look forward to walking with you again on your...More
Beautiful walk, low level through farmland, woodland and a little bit of moorland. Fantastic views and obviously visiting the cave, and other sandstone crags. Patrick is a great guide and was happy to do this walk with me at very short notice. Would definitely recommend...More
Many thanks for your review of our Footsteps walk to St. Cuthbert's Cave. I learned more about the geology of the sandstone from you, all useful information for future walks. P
Patrick Norris is a brilliant tour guide who catered to our needs from the very beginning, with an extremely personalised service. From explaining how to get to the location, to imparting his wealth of knowledge during the walks, to the very end when we had...More
Thanks Anila that's a lovely review and I look forward to walking with you both again; it was an excellent day to be out and about in the Northumberland countryside. P
Patrick is so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, with some great historical facts too. Always picks an interesting and stunning route in Northumberland. And as its Northumberland he's spoilt for choice for beautiful countryside or amazing coastline walks. I've been on a few...More

A very memorable walk. Patrick is an excellent and friendly guide. I have never walked 3 miles in bare feet - and this was a joy! Thoroughly recommend.More
Hi Roger, many thanks for your review it is very much appreciated to read such positive comments about who we are and what we do. We're wearing our wellies now, the temperature has dropped right away and we'll not be walking barefoot again until next...More
