Titlington Pike

Standing at a dizzying 233 meters, Titlington Pike is less a 'pike' and more a gentle bump in the Northumberland landscape. It offers grand views of the Cheviots and the coast, provided you don't mind sharing the summit with a slightly overbearing telecommunications mast.

• •The fell sits within the Bewick and Beanley Moors SSSI, a mosaic of bogs and heaths recognized for its exceptional community of amphibians. It is essentially the Ivy League for local frogs and newts.
• •To the north, the moors protect rare relict juniper woodland, a botanical survivor from the post-glacial period. It is a living museum that thankfully doesn't charge an admission fee.
• •The summit is crowned by a trig point and a large telecommunications mast, ensuring your 4G signal is significantly more impressive than the actual physical ascent.
• •The surrounding moors incorporate two formerly separate protected sites, Hannah’s Hill and Quarryhouse Moor Ponds, which were consolidated into a single SSSI in 2010.
• •Calling this a 'Pike' is arguably Northumberland’s finest piece of creative marketing. It is less of a jagged mountain and more like a molehill that simply refused to stop growing.
