Apraksts
A well appointed 4 star en suite accommodation in the spectacular countryside of Northumberland, recently voted the most tranquil county in England. Easily located on the A69 in the South Tyne Valley 1/2 mile from the river and its spectacular scenery we are an ideal base from which to visit all the major sites on Hadrian's Wall including Housesteads and Vindolanda, within 3 miles of here. A day long circular walk starting from here will take you up through some picturesque farmland, across the Stanegate (the original Roman Road) through another farm and on to Housteads Roman Fort where the highest part of the wall is situated. Then head west along Hadrians Wall to Steel Rig. All downhill now to the Twice Brewed inn for lunch and on to Vindolanda Roman Settlement (allow 3 hours to visit the site) where archaeological digs take place every summer. Then a gentle stroll downhill back to Strand Cottage. Also within easy reach are the Lake District, Durham Cathedral, Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and the Scottish borders, including Gretna Green, famous for its marriages in the old blacksmiths shop. Kielder forest with its cyle tracks and cycle hire is just under and hour from here. Walking is very popular in the area and organised walks are arranged at Haltwhistle (The Centre of Britain 4 miles from here) weekly. We are an ideal base for those wishing to walk the length of Hadrian's Wall using their cars and the Hadrians Wall bus to get to the start and finish of the days walk. Golf and fishing are also available close by. Secure cycle storage and drying facilities are available. Langley Castle wedding venue is 5 miles from here and on request early entry and a taxi to and from the castle can be arranged. Hotel Rating: Visit Britain 4 star
