The Devil’s Water is a tributary to the Tyne. It winds down from Hexhamshire through hamlets and gorges and woodlands towards Corbridge. A mile south of Hexham, near to Swallowship Woods, it turns abruptly to the left, diverted sharply by sandstone crags. At this bend the river slows, almost to a standstill, before rushing off again down to some rapids and waterfalls.
This dog leg in the river, with the sandstone towering above and a small sandy bay on the corner, is a little tricky to find, but very well known to anyone who grew up in or around Hexham. Not only is it pretty, but it is a favourite paddling spot for those in the know. Devil was captured on a very still Autumn morning. A 42” x 28” framed giclee print hangs in The Wynd gallery in the centre of Hexham.
