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.
A great find, can’t recommend the park enough to others whether seasoned campers or first timers…
Absolutely lovely campsite, great atmosphere, felt really welcomed. Amazing views and great distance from local tourist attractions, will definitely be returning soon!
Excellent park, easy to get to, will definitely recommend to friends and family and will return in the future.
Exceptionally clean shower block and very helpful friendly staff.
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 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
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!!!
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.
Overall, we really enjoy staying at the park and find it very friendly and well maintained.
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.
We absolutely love this place and will definitely return.
Nice park in an excellent location for touring Northumberland. Good facilities and friendly staff.
