Duddo Five Stones
Duddo, Northumberland
Duddo Five Stones, also known as the ‘Stone Circle’, is an intriguing site of large, weathered stones, around 4,000 years old. As they stand, the circle is incomplete; there was once seven stones in total and a ‘burial pit’ in the centre, but these no longer stand on the site. To get to the stones you will need to cross farmland; once you’ve parked, you will see a gate to enter the farm (signposted to the stones) and you can follow the well-trodden track all the way to the site. As you are crossing farmland, the terrain can be a little uneven and not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs; also, for this reason, I’d also recommend comfortable shoes. The walk is easy and is roughly 1-mile from the entry gate to the stones, taking approximately 15 minutes. Once you’ve arrived at the stones, you can take your time having a look around, don’t miss the informational board at the bottom of the hill.
