This Cicerone walking Guidebook describes two long-distance trails through Northumberland and the Borders. St Oswald's Way runs 97 miles from Heavenfield near Hadrian's Wall. St Cuthbert's Way is 62 miles from Melrose. Both routes pass through the Northumberland National Park and follow part of the Northumberland Coast Path to meet at Holy Island before continuing up the coast to Berwick-upon-Tweed.
