The Ingram valley through which the small Breamish river runs is very popular place with summer visitors and hill walkers. Drive past the visitor centre until you come to the public toilets/car park on the right. This is the starting point to climb the hills.

 At the top of Brough Law - the nearby hill. It was once an old fort but is now just a circle of tumbled down stones. |
 The road into the hills - it comes to a dead end |
Opposite the car park, half way up the hill towards Brough's Law, are the remnants of a bronze age settlement. It's easily missed - keep an eye out for the overgrown area surrounded by stones. That's it. It takes approximately half an hour to walk up the beaten path to the top of Brough's Law, where the view is magnificent.
The nearest shop is back on the main road (turn right when you reach it)and is part of a petrol station. Attached is a restaurant which is well worth a visit. There is also a small antiques centre and fresh-local meat butcher shop.
