The Local Area

Explore locally on foot

Walking down our driveway and turn left at the bottom to play in the Rowley Burn (our local stream) a hit with all children and adults alike. Nothing like a bit of water fun and a game of Pooh Sticks!

Walks from your door – Etti, who explored the area extensively last year while training for her Mont Blanc climb can provide maps detailing walks from 30 mins - 6 hours on request . 

Walking across the fell to Allendale for a cream tea or further across to stunning historic Blanchland are two of her favourite day routes. 

Local towns

Visit Roman Town of Corbridge with its gorgeous shops, Award winning Grants Bakery, Historic pubs and riverside walks.

Visit Hexham for the absolutely stunning Abbey and historic Gaol. 

Family Dale favourite trips out

Hadrians Wall- The Sill and Vindolanda are particularly interesting.
