St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 3 completed. Now, on St Cuthbert’s Way Coast-to-Coast Day 4 we were cycling from Jedburgh to Wooler. It was once again a fine day when we left Airenlea B&B.

Leaving Jedburgh, we followed the 4 Abbeys cycle route up through Belvedere and Crouchie Wood.

A few miles further on we arrived at the village of Cessford.

Near to the village are the remains of Cessford Castle. This is is a large ruined mid-15th century castle.

Built around 1450, it was beseiged in 1523 and attacked again in 1545 before eventually being abandoned in 1650.

A few miles after Cessford we arrived  in Morebattle.

We stopped here at St Cuthberts Coffee Shop. It’s a cracking little place for a brew. Their aim is to re-open the church, the building which hosts the coffee shop, and we wish it well.

From Morebattle, we continued our journey and cycled on towards Yetholm.

We have stayed at Town Yetholm before, we stayed at the local hotel on our Coast and Castles South tour.

From Town Yetholm, we cycled through Kirk Yetholm, the start/finish of the Pennine Way.

We weren’t stopping, however, we kept cycling.

We were heading for Kirknewton.

From Kirknewton we cycled on towards Yeavering. On the way we passed the Ad Gefrin monument.

This is the site of an Anglo-British settlement and the historic palace of King Edwin dating back to the 7th century. 

After Yeavering we continued on towards our destination, Wooler.

Wooler is another place where we have stayed previously. This time on our Pennine Cycleway tour. 

Half way up the main street is Ramblers Coffee Shop. We decided to sit outside, have some lunch and watch the world go by.

Since Wooler was the place where the cyclists and walkers were meeting up, we had the crazy idea of meeting up with them on their journey into the town. So we cycled up the hill to Hambleton Burn park.

Nicholl was already there. It was her birthday (and the inspiration for both the walking and cycling tours)

A little later, Sarah and Neil arrived.

They were quite surprised to see us!

The walkers then continued on their St Cuthbert’s Way journey to Wooler.

While we cycled back down the hill.

We were all staying at the Tankerville Arms Hotel. We would like to recommend this as a place to stay, it was a nice place, but TBH, we had a terrible time sorting out room payments. We were charged three times for our rooms! Incompetent or what? Shocking.

In the evening we enjoyed an excellent meal celebrating Nicholl’s 50th birthday.
