Shafto Crags is a lovely hidden gem in the heart Northumberland.

I have marked this down as a medium walk only because of the length of it and there us two spot there you have yo walk along a busy road.
The paths are great and easy to follow with only two spots where you might get a little muddy.
The walk is generally dog friendly however around shaft crag and hall sheep and cattle roam freely.
After walking around the lake and through the forest head up the road to the Stables Tearoom is a lovely little ( busy ) tea rooms I highly recommend a visit .
The way to Shafto Crags is at the crossroads just before the tearooms and is clearly signposted
Once on this path it's all prety straight forward and to get to Safto Scar
With its spectacular views and landscape.
Have a great walk and would love to hear what you think
