There are literally thousands of birds sitting on the water at Branton Nature Reserve. A good single track around the lakes is easy enough to ride on. The noise from the birds is quite loud at times. A small car park that can fit about 5 cars is available. Unfortunately as I rode around the lake perimeter the birds seen and heard me on the bike, they then all took off, but less than a minute later they returned

Ingram is a small quaint village that has existed since pre-Saxon times and sits in the Breamish Valley where the River Breamish widens out into fields and haughland. The Breamish Valley (and Ingram in particular) is renowned for its natural beauty and sites of archaeological and historical significance. There are Iron Age hill forts to find with various walks signposted, large open spaces to picnic by the river and wonderful views of the surrounding hills. If you want to walk, relax with a picnic or cycle there are many routes and spaces available to you. Being part of Northumberland National Park there’s also a visitor information board near the bridge, and car parking areas at various points in the valley.
