The routes are described as follows: Bardon Mill Public Footpath No 40

Haydon Public Footpath No 9

The Order is to be effective from the 26th August 2024 until the 8th November 2024.

Although the Order covers a period of eleven weeks, it is anticipated that most of the Public Rights of Way will only be closed for shorter periods to accommodate production preparation and filming activities, details of which will be advertised on site and online https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/About/Maps/Public-rights-of-way.aspx.

There is no alternative route for traffic.

Further enquiries should be made Tim Fish, Area Countryside Officer by email to Tim.Fish@northumberland.gov.uk

The closure has been requested by a Production Company, because of the likelihood of danger to the public which is not attributable to such works, it is considered expedient to temporarily close the public rights of way whilst filming activities take place.
