Walk 6 - Rothbury Town Walk - Easy Route
Walking time: Approximately 1 hours
Start and Finish point: Rothbury. Cowhaugh car park (Nu 057015) situated next to river Coquet. If you are entering Rothbury on the B6342 from the South (Cambo direction), turn left just before you cross the bridge as you approach Rothbury village centre.
Children: I researched this walk with my daughter asleep in her pram. Therefore I would say it is suitable for children of all ages. The route involves crossing stepping stones, which may be a problem with a pram or younger children. There is however, an alternative route by using the road bridge a little way down river.
