Directions
The first important point to realise is that there are no signposts for the College Valley.
The closest
you get is a signpost for Hethpool which is on the B6351 at Westnewton.
The easiest way to get to the Valley starting at Wooler is to take the A697 north, signposted for
Coldstream and Scotland.
At Akeld, where the A697 takes a right hand turn you will come to what
the locals call “The Flags”.
These fly outside the Akeld Manor and Country Club.
It is here that you
turn left onto the B6351.
Continue along this road past Yeavering and Kirknewton.
You will shortly
cross a bridge over the College burn which flows out of the College Valley.
Immediately after this you
come to the small hamlet of Westnewton.
