Sustainability
We love where we live—and we want to keep it that way.
We believe that access to green spaces is a right, not a privilege. Nature is for everyone, and we’re passionate about opening the gates —quite literally— for more people to experience the peace, wonder, and freedom that being outdoors brings. With that access comes responsibility: to care for the landscapes we walk through, to tread lightly, and to pass on the stories, history, and knowledge that help others do the same. By walking together, we’re not just exploring the Northumberland landscapes we’re building understanding, connection, and a shared commitment to look after it for the future.​ We’re committed to keeping our adventures kind to the landscape and the communities we explore.
That means:
-
Supporting local campaigns that encourage sustainable choices and reduce environmental impact
-
Sharing simple ways we can all care for the trails and wild places we love
-
Encouraging the use of reusable materials and low-waste habits
-
Championing independent cafés, shops, and local businesses
-
Designing tours that are accessible by public transport whenever possible

We’re thrilled to have been awarded a Green Tourism Bronze Award! This recognition from a world-leading sustainability accreditation means a lot to us. As a small team of two, we’re committed to improving the way we take care of the region we love so much and proud to be making meaningful steps on our Green Journey, working towards our Sustainability Goals. From our Green Tourism sustainability report (3 April, 2025):
"They have displayed a good understanding of sustainability and awareness of opportunities and challenges associated with running a responsible business. Although at the start of their sustainability journey with Green Tourism, they have shown a willingness to learn more, and if they undertake some of the points raised in the action plan. I have no doubt that they will gain a higher level of award in the future."
