Rothbury could be the Gravel riding scenes hidden gem. The Carriage Drive above Rothbury, formerly the way into Cragside, is a wonderful, short gravel ride. If you want to go further, you can easily make a day and ride through Harwood to Wallington Hall. If big, wild spaces are you thing, why not try the Slymefoot Trail, which starts in Rothbury.
