Follow the main road south through the village, turning off beside a Victorian cross along a lane to Wooler Golf Club. Where it subsequently turns up to the golf club, keep ahead through a gate and continue on a gravel track. After dipping past a barn, the way climbs again, passing through another gate as it crests the hill. Walk on past a conifer plantation then look for a signpost to Weetwood Hill, beside a gate on the right. 

Swing right through a second gate into the corner of a field. Head across at a shallow angle from the left boundary, making for a stile by the distant far corner. Walk on, closing with a wall on the left to a second stile. Over to the right is the Iron Age hill-fort site of The Ringses, a trod leading out to it. The main route, however, continues ahead, shortly passing the end of a pine plantation. Keep going beside the left-hand wall, crossing another two stiles and on at the edge of heath until you reach a solitary standing stone, all that remains of the stone circle.    

Walk forward past a gate and on down to the corner of the moorland enclosure. Ignore the gate ahead and instead swing right on a narrow path, now following a fence and shortly reaching a field gate on the left.    

Again, don't pass through; instead bear away right on a broader trail to a fork. Take the right branch, but as it immediately splits again, keep ahead up the hillside. Where the track branches yet again a little higher up, fork left. The gradient soon eases and before too long the trail leads past the trig column crowning the hill. It is a grand viewpoint and looks out on the one hand to the Cheviot Hills, while in the other direction is the Northumberland coast. Carry on, gently losing height past a gate and stile to approach a junction of tracks near a gate onto the golf course. The cup-and-ring carved slab lies some 25yds (23m) before the junction, concealed among bracken just to the right of the path.    

At the junction beyond the stone, go sharp left down to a lone cottage, the Shepherds House. As you pass (to the right), look for a narrow path leaving into the bracken on the right. It follows the edge of a steep escarpment, later descending towards the village, which then comes into view. Cross a fence stile, and continue down the hill, picking up a sparse line of wind-blown hawthorn, the remnants of an old hedge. Beyond a kissing gate, leave the bracken for open grass. Ignore a crossing path and bear right to find a waypost at the top of a gorse bank. Curving left, a narrow path winds through the gorse, dropping to a final stile onto the golf club lane. Follow it left back to the village.
