The 'Beggars Rigg' car park is situated on the outskirts of Rothbury just off the B6341 road to Thropton. There are no fees. There are no spaces allocated for Coaches. This car park offers views to the 'River', 'Golf Course' and the 'Simonside Hills'. It is a pleasant walk down from the car park, and then an easy walk along the riverside into Rothbury. The path along the riverside is not suitable for wheelchairs as it is simply an old fashioned rough track, hewn over the years by locals and visitors alike.
