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.
We absolutely love this place and will definitely return.
We love this park as the caravans are excellent and always well maintained and of course the Northumberland coast is beautiful.
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.
Fantastic for the kids to play around the park and the walks in the nature trail.
Loved our holiday here. Was pretty much perfect for us with small children. Have already booked to return twice in the summer.
We hired your BBQ hut and what a fab idea it was! Kids loved it, it was a fab little experience.
We very much enjoyed the campsite. The kitchen area for wigwam users was a great touch and made a huge difference to our dining options. All public areas well maintained and clean.
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!
Superb place and facility. I’ve never been to Northumberland, and now will be returning back for the third time in 9 months (even though you are 360 miles away from me).
Having previously mainly stayed at Parkdean Caravan Parks on the south coast I was unsure what to expect, we were delighted with the caravan we stayed in, much better than previous holidays, so clean and spacious, and a great price. Really felt comfortable and safe, which as a single mum of 11 and 13 year old lads is always my concern, so thank you very much for a perfect holiday.
Nice park in an excellent location for touring Northumberland. Good facilities and friendly staff.
We love Waren, it is one of our favourite sites. We feel so at home there. It was the first ever site we went to, for our first trip out in our first touring caravan, for our daughter’s second birthday celebrations. It is a tradition now that we go every year for her birthday, and have just done it for the third year running. We love it so much. And long may it continue. Cant wait to try the sister sites, as she gets older. Brilliant site, lovely atmosphere, keep up the good work guys! Thankyou x
