Images of some of Northumberland’s most iconic spots, including Hadrian’s Wall, the Pennine Way, Hareshaw Linn and the Simonside Hills were captured by National Park staff and volunteers this summer using Google’s Trekker equipment.

The images have been transformed by Google into interactive 360° imagery and published to Street View, allowing virtual visitors from all over the world to enjoy the National Park’s landscape.

The images are also available on the Northumberland National Park Authority website to illustrate walking trails and to let users explore habitats and conservation work.

Northumberland National Park Authority Chief Executive Tony Gates said: “We were thrilled to be able work in partnership with Google to allow more people than ever before the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the Northumberland landscape.

“Thanks to this immersive online imagery you are now able to explore a section of the world famous Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site, the Pennine Way and many other beautiful locations where we offer ranger-led walks and events and activities for the whole family.

"It is our hope this will encourage people to come and explore the National Park first-hand.”

The Club has two sites close to the Northumberland National Park – Bellingham and Haltwhistle.
