WELCOMETOISAAC’STEATRAILFLOWERS & WILDLIFE
The heritage may be hidden – the flowers and wildlife
are not. The spring and early summer are when the
hay meadows and moorland buzz most vibrantly with
wildlife, disturbed only by the occasional walker.
However, at anytime of the year you can enjoy the
thrill of seeing something new in the natural world.
NORTH COUNTRY WORDS FROM ISAAC’S TIME
The unique identity of Northern England is evident in local
language and dialect. Although many words and phrases
disappeared with the end of the lead mines, changes in
agriculture, and as people left in search of work, you can
still hear traces of a dialect that hasn’t changed very much
since Isaac Holden roamed the fells.

Isaac’s Tea Trail is a Long Distance Path of justover 36 miles.It was launched in 2002, inspired bythe tale of Isaac Holden, an itinerant tea seller who inVictorian times was a familiar figure on the roughtracks over Allendale Common and Alston Moor.However, anyone expecting to find tea plantations onthe south-facing slopes of the Northumberland andCumbrian hills is likely to be disappointed. In additionto being a tea-seller, Isaac was a celebrated localphilanthropist, perhaps best remembered by Isaac’sWell in Allendale, also the start of the trail.
Since 2007, the trail has been administered byAllenheads Trust Ltd with help from NorthumberlandCounty Council’s Area Rights of Way Officer, and anetwork of organisations, including the Long DistanceWalkers Association and Ramblers, as well as manyhelpful individuals; all vital to the promotion andmaintenance of the trail’s footpaths – although there isalways scope for more support. The publication of ‘AGuide to Isaac’s Tea Trail: Hidden Heritage in England’sNorth Country’ will make following the trail easier, aswell as throwing fresh light on places of historicalinterest seen upon the way.
