Location

The surrounding area features several lovely historic sites, walks and traditional market towns. Located on the meandering River Coquet, Rothbury is built from mellow sandstone and home to a vibrant high street with a variety of independent shops, including a good delicatessen, butcher and baker. Nearby Morpeth also has a wide variety of shops, cafés and restaurants and is an excellent gateway to the region, lying on the fast train line between London and Edinburgh.

History enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them occupied in the area, such as the National Trust properties of Wallington Hall and Cragside, the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. This marvel of the Victorian Gothic Revival, surrounded by beautiful gardens and mature trees, showcases the innovative spirit of Lord Armstrong and is the perfect spot for a day trip.

The landscape is also sure to delight wildlife-spotters and walkers. The Simonside Hills, the Cheviot Hills, the Northumberland National Park, Kielder Water and Hadrian’s Wall are all within easy reach, providing ample opportunities for hiking and cycling. If you’d like to experience some sea air, the historic fishing villages and wide sandy beaches of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Alnmouth, Craster, Warkworth and Bamburgh are also an easy drive away.
