As you ascend the Cheviot hill, you may encounter a range of wildlife, from grazing sheep to soaring birds of prey. The summit rewards hikers with breathtaking views stretching out across the rolling hills of Northumberland and beyond. Be sure to pack plenty of water, snacks, and appropriate clothing for unpredictable weather conditions. The Cheviot hill is a remote and challenging hike, so be prepared for a long day out in nature.
