Relax and stay with us for a few days visiting Northumberland’s many places of interest.

Hadrian’s Wall – World Heritage site, Roman Camps, Museums & National Walking Trail

Hadrian's Wall, World Heritage site, The National Trail and the ancient frontier of a long forgotten empire, is an area of outstanding natural beauty. An archaeological must for everybody interested in history. Imagine thousands of roman soldiers stationed along it's length in mile castles. You can visit the roman camps of Housesteads, Vindolanda, Chesters and the Roman Army Museum to name but a few. Why not walk the Hadrian's Wall National Trail from coast to coast, with it's unique mix of heritage and landscape. Jump on AD122, the award winning Hadrian's Wall bus or walk just that little bit further to the roman village of Corbridge, for quality accommodation. Alternatively there's the Hadrian's Wall cycle way if you prefer to use a bike.
