Some of the best photos from the walks listed on this site can be seen on Edward Nicholl's Photography website.

(*) Note : The Alston-Kirkhaugh walk is included in the "Weardale" walks, even though Alston is in South Tynedale, purely for convenience sake. The main justification for this is that the author reaches Alston from Weardale (Wolsingham and Stanhope).
