PREFACE

Large herds of dairy and beef cattle are reared in the broad and sprawling Northumberland countryside

I never met the late James Roberts, author of Cicerone’s original guide to the Reivers Way, but if I had I’m sure I would have recognised a kindred spirit. Roberts’ enthusiasm for Northumberland spanned many years, and his guidebook to the Reivers Way was penned while walking the route on his honeymoon in September 1992. Ten years earlier he had acquired a simple, stapled booklet covering the route, written by Harold Osmond Wade, itself dating from 1977. This small guide was pieced together from articles written by Wade for the Newcastle Chronicle, in which he serialised a trip he made piecemeal around the Reivers Way during the summer of 1975.
