Location
This 1,800-acre hill farm is 45 miles north of Newcastle and 70 miles south of Edinburgh. It is 16 miles inland from Alnwick and just under 10 miles from Wooler, a small market town – a lot less if you walk or ride! We are situated in the Cheviot Hills between the Breamish and Harthope Valleys, at the foot of Hedgehope with Cheviot, Northumberland’s highest peak, nestling alongside.
Our nearest train stations are Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Alnmouth, both approximately 20 miles away. The nearest bus stops are on the A697, approximately 3.5 miles away.
Please note, although we would prefer you to support local business, if you require it, all supermarkets will deliver to the properties.
