Newton Tors, College Valley, Northumberland

 The Newton Tors form the eastern ridge of the College Valley.

The northern edge accommodates the St Cuthberts Walk. But you can walk from Easter Tor, Wester Tor and Harelaw all the way down to Southernknowe. This is where the feral goats are most often found along with the black grouse.

This picture is taken as you walk through the small plantation just north of Hethpool Mill. You can see the stile with the St Cuthberts Way marker. The stile marks the end of College Valley estate land.
