Hiking
Battle Hill is a stunning wide open location with great natural views. However it can be a bleak looking place in the midst of winter and nearby Wilson's Gibbet only adds to that atmosphere. The gibbet with its hanging figure silhouetted against a dark cruel grey sky will send a shiver down your spine as you hike over the moors on Northumberland’s Whiskershields Common.
