description Redesdale Moors Overview
Redesdale Moors are upland heath and moorland landscapes in Redesdale, Northumberland, England. The area lies within the valley and catchment of the River Rede and includes land associated with the Otterburn Training Area, a Ministry of Defence site used for military exercises. Roman Dere Street crosses the wider Redesdale region, linking the modern landscape with the road network of Roman Britain. The moors are therefore both a heather-dominated upland habitat and a working military landscape.
