Sim's Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Northumberland, England. Standing at an elevation of approximately 374 meters (1,227 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain. Situated in the northern part of the county, Sim's Hill is part of the Cheviot Hills range, which extends along the border between England and Scotland.

The hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making it a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers. Its strategic location provides visitors with stunning vistas of the Northumberland National Park, the Scottish borders, and the rolling hills that characterize the region.

Sim's Hill is covered with a mixture of heather, grasses, and sparse woodland, creating a diverse and picturesque landscape. The hill itself is relatively steep, but a well-maintained footpath allows visitors to reach the summit with relative ease. From the top, visitors can admire the vast expanse of the neighboring valleys and the distant peaks of the Cheviot Hills.

The area surrounding Sim's Hill is rich in wildlife, with several bird species, including red grouse and golden plovers, calling it home. It is also home to various mammals, such as red deer and hares, which can occasionally be spotted while exploring the hill.

Sim's Hill is a popular destination for those seeking outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, and birdwatching. Its natural beauty and tranquil surroundings make it a must-visit location for anyone venturing into Northumberland.

Tamworth Reds I never knew that pigs could set up quite the cacophonous racket that these two (together with a couple of others) did when they saw us and presumably thought that food  was on the way!

Ford over the Ham Burn at Low Ardley With much more water in the stream than I have ever seen before (11 mm of rain last night recorded at home nearby). Even the start of the path to the footbridge was under water, but still a long way short of the 6 ft mark on the measuring stave, fortunately.
