All this makes it the perfect stop over point if you’re walking the enticingly named Isaac’s Tea Trail. Of course, Britain is scattered with long distance paths and trails named after teh landscape (Pennine Way or Limestone Way) or historical persons (St. Cuthbert’s Way, Offa’s Dyke Way), but this one catches the eye. Isaac’s Tea trail follows 36 miles of an itinerant tea seller’s route across the North Pennines.
Starting at Allendale along teh East Allen Valley, across the moors to Nenthead. From there you can drop beside the river as it cascades to Alston. Just along this stretch is where you’ll find Hagg’s Bank. A great place with lovely views to break your walk. Next day, after a hearty breakfast, continue through Alston where you can join the Pennine Way for a bit before climbing to the moors again and circling round back to Allendale. Perfect! A two day adventure with a homely stopover in between.
