Chirdon Head Outdoor Centre On a previous visit in August 2008 we wondered if this was an outdoor centre but couldn't find any information about.  Since then a large extension has been built but not quite finished.  It belongs to the Cramlington Volunteer Youth Project.

Waymark for the Alternative Pennine Way The marker indicates a public footpath, and also the logo of the Alternative Pennine Way. The APW is a strictly unofficial long distance walk from Ashbourne to Jedburgh, the subject of a Cicerone Guide published in 1992. It avoids much of the higher, boggier parts of the Pennine Way proper, but is little known and little walked. This and the one seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5248386">NY7273 : Waymark in Wark Forest</a> are the only waymarks for the APW that I have ever seen.
