Hareshaw Linn

Hareshaw Linn

A popular walk from the village of Bellingham to a picturesque waterfall. The path follows the Hareshaw Burn past the remains of the village's ironmaking past to the wooded gorge where the stream tumbles its way towards the North Tyne. Popular since Victorian times, the route has recently been restored by Northumberland National Park to bring its history and nature to the attention of the present-day walker.
All common upland woodland birds including Pied flycatcher in spring / summer and river birds such as Grey wagtail(above) and Dipper(below).

The Dippers (Poyser)
Stepanie Tyler & Stephen Ormerod Illustrated by Darren Rees

Dippers are the world's only truly aquatic passerine bird fascinating for their remarkable swimming and diving abilities, and the beauty of their preferred but threatened habitat, the fast flowing streams of the wild uplands. Territorial behaviour, breeding biology, diet, movements and population dynamics are all discussed in relation to the Dipper's adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle in environments coming under increasing pressure from man's current changes in land use.
