Linhope Spout Waterfall

Linhope Spout is a dramatic waterfall in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland National Park, where Linhope Burn tumbles 18 metres down a rock face into a deep plunge pool below.

The slender cascade is framed by rock walls and trees that keep the glade shady, creating a sheltered spot popular for picnics and wild swimming.

The site lies within the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, and red squirrels have been spotted in the surrounding woodland.

The walk to the falls follows the burn through rolling hills and woodland, with some steep and potentially muddy sections near the waterfall itself. A short rocky descent leads down to the pool and the best views of the spout.

Designated footpaths serve the area, and dogs must be kept on leads throughout.
