The Cheviots Challenge 2025
The 43rd Cheviots Challenge is organised to raise funds for the Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team. A voluntary organisation whose members share a common interest in providing an important life saving service 24 hours a day 365 days of the year.
There are two routes available; the Terry Lynn Long Route and the Eileen Lynn short route. Terry and Eileen were both members of NNPMRT and for many years worked on the organising committee for the Cheviots Challenge Walk.
This year’s long route for the Cheviots Challenge has unfortunately had to be changed due to the ongoing impact of Storm Arwen on Northumberland’s forests. Last year’s route through the Uswayford forest past Davidson’s Linn and out onto Salter’s Road remains closed due to significant tree fall. Consequently we have not been able to include this section and the section over Bloodybush Edge towards Yarnspath Law in this year’s long route. We appreciate this will be disappointing for some and a relief for others! We hope to revert back to standard long route next year once the bridleway through the Uswayford forest has been re-opened.
Thank-you very much for an enjoyable stay. It has been my favourite camping trip. I loved the adult only camp area. Highly recommended to friends.
A really great park, fab shower and amenity block. We are new to the motorhome scene and this site has strengthened our commitment to our new freedom Thank you for a great site!!!
Excellent park, easy to get to, will definitely recommend to friends and family and will return in the future.
We stayed for 2 nights in a tent. Our children loved it! They loved the parks, the outdoor pools, football pitches and large grassed areas throughout to play games.
Overall, we really enjoy staying at the park and find it very friendly and well maintained.
We hired your BBQ hut and what a fab idea it was! Kids loved it, it was a fab little experience.
A great find, can’t recommend the park enough to others whether seasoned campers or first timers…
We have travelled all over the UK in our motor home. Waren Mill was one of the first sites we stayed at and has remained our favourite!
Exceptionally clean shower block and very helpful friendly staff.
Absolutely lovely campsite, great atmosphere, felt really welcomed. Amazing views and great distance from local tourist attractions, will definitely be returning soon!
Nice park in an excellent location for touring Northumberland. Good facilities and friendly staff.
Even in October for our last stay we found the park to be in superb condition. A great tribute to the hard working park staff which was much appreciated. We look forward to returning.
