Calling all history buffs and walking enthusiasts! Take a journey through time with our incredible Ashington Local Heroes Walking Tour!
Northumberland County Council have teamed up with Go Jauntly to bring you a fantastic digital walking experience that celebrates our town's legendary figures!
Ashington has a host of beautiful sites and historic locations that many people adore, but many others have yet to visit. With the Northumberland Line now open, we and Northumberland County Council would love to encourage not only local residents, but those coming from the outside to put on their walking boots, and discover the true beauty of Ashington!
