Thockrington has places to explore by foot, bike or bus. Below are a selection of the varied Thockrington’s destinations you can visit with additional content available at the Walkfo Thockrington’s information audio spots:

Colt Crag Reservoir Colt Crag Reservoir is a relatively shallow reservoir in Northumberland, England. It is adjacent to the A68 road, and 9 miles (14 km) north of Corbridge. The A68 runs along the course of Dere Street, a Roman road.

Little Swinburne Reservoir Little Swinburne Reservoir is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the A68 road, and about 9 miles (14 km) north of Corbridge, Northumberland. The reservoir was built to facilitate a bridge crossing of the Swin Burn. The A68 follows the course of Dere Street, a Roman road, but deviated a little to the east.

Sweethope Loughs Sweethope Loughs are two freshwater lakes almost 1 mile (1.6 km) in length, the smaller one just east of the larger one. They lie about 18 miles (29 km) west of Morpeth; 4 miles (6 km ) west of Kirkwhelpington; and 6 miles (10 km) east of Bellingham.

Hallington Reservoirs Hallington Reservoirs are located near the small village of Colwell, Northumberland, England. Water was first collected from the area by an aqueduct intercepting streams, which was built between 1857 and 1859 by the Whittle Dean Water Company. As the populations of Newcastle and Gateshead continued to grow, more water was needed, and a second reservoir was constructed at Hallington, known as the West Reservoir.
