Farm Activities & Walks
for All the Family

Superb Walking Around
Rothbury and in Coquetdale

Wonderful Northumberland Coastline

Children are encouraged to meet the animals, especially Hercules our pony, and to enjoy long walks amongst the wonderful scenery.

Lambing time is a special treat for families and we enjoy giving the children hands-on farm and country experiences.

Situated in the foothills of the Cheviots in the Coquetdale valley and adjacent to Northumberland National Park, this comfortable farm cottage lies in a peaceful, rural location with views of the beautiful Coquet Valley.

The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking, cycling, horse riding, mountain hiking, golf and fishing (see more about the River Coquet).

We are only 7 miles from the attractive market town of Rothbury which has a swimming pool, cycle hire and Rothbury Golf Club. In nearby Elsdon you can enjoy yourselves at Redesdale Riding & Activity Centre.

The cottage makes an ideal base for a family wishing to explore both the inland and coastal areas of Northumberland.

The seaside lies just 20 miles away with long stretches of sandy beaches. Take a day trip to the enigmatic Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the birthplace of christianity in England, or a boat trip to see the wildlife on the Farne Islands. Kielder Water offers watersports and forest trails and there is the World Heritage site of Hadrian's Wall, along with many castles, ancient monuments, National Trust and English Heritage properties scattered throughout this largely unexplored region. Visit the fabulous Alnwick Gardens recently created at Alnwick Castle.
