Hedgehope Hill
Encyclopedia
Hedgehope Hill is a mountain
in the Cheviot Hills of North Northumberland
in North East England
.
At a height of 714 metres (2,342.5 ft) and a distance of about 3 miles (4.8 km) from the Scottish
border, it is best climbed from Langleeford in the Harthorpe Valley, over which it looms. A slightly gentler climb, though a longer distance is from Linhope, approaching from the south east. An alternative route to the summit could involve a long days climb of both the Cheviot and Hedgehope Hill starting and finishing at Langleeford. It is a steep climb from any approach, best reserved for fitter walkers though the steepest inclines are not long in distance.
Hedgehope has steeper sides than the taller but flatter topped Cheviot and affords excellent views on all sides. On a clear day, views stretch to Blyth
down the coastline up to 40 miles (64.4 km) away.
