March Head Trig Point

Trig Point In Kielder, Northumberland

This is the trig point for March Head (454m) near Kielder.

Height - 454m // Bracket - S8000 // Postcode - NE48 1HD

This is the March Head trig point (454m) sitting on top of Purdom Pikes in Kielder, Northumberland.

From the parking follow the path NW a short distance and then head SW into the forest. Now you have a decision to make. You can either keep going SW on the path until you get to the bottom of Purdom Pikes and then slog your way through the tussocks to the top.

Or head south for a bit and then west and pick up the new bike path. This will get you a little closer to the March Head trig point before you have to head up through the rough terrain.

Just follow this route to the March Head trig point top, or find it on OS Maps. Around 1.7km and 110m ascent.

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue Pele tower up a remote hill or a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
