{{Use dmy dates|date=November 2017}}{{Use British English|date=November 2017}}St. Oswald’s Way is a long-distance walking route, exploring some of the landscapes and history of Northumberland, England’s most northerly county.[1]

There are castles, coastline, islands, scenic river valleys, hills, attractive villages, forest and farmland on the walk.

From Holy Island (Lindisfarne) in the north, St. Oswald’s Way follows the Northumbrian coast, before heading inland to Hadrian's Wall and Heavenfield in the south, a distance of 97 miles (156km).[2]

The route was launched in 2006 and links some of the places associated with St. Oswald, the king of Northumbria in the early seventh-century, who played a major part in bringing Christianity to his people. The route leads from Bamburgh Castle to the site of the Battle of Heavenfield near Chollerford, passing through Alnmouth, Felton, and Rothbury.[3]
