Gilsland is a small, nucleated village with most of its houses in Northumberland, but the edges spilling over into Cumbria, and is home to a country inn and a few small, local shops. It is situated on Hadrian's Wall, and is ideal for exploring the north Pennines, Eden Valley, the Scottish Borders and even as far south as the Lake District National Park. Gilsland lies within 10 miles of Housesteads Roman Fort and Vindolander, famous for the Roman parchment letters and settlement reconstruction. There are numerous castle ruins close by including Blenkinsopp, Thirlwall, Bellister and Bewcastle. The pretty market town of Brampton is within a 15 minute drive and Carlisle is just 30 minutes away. For a great day trip, visit the Lake District National Park, or spend a day in Cumbria. The scenery in this area is stunning, with wide panoramic vistas looking out on the Roman Wall which follows the Whin Sill escarpment, making this quiet corner of England a walker's and cyclist's delight.

Previous visitors' comments about Bibra:
It was close to lots of interesting attractions, whilst remaining secluded enough to give us a peaceful escape. Overall, it was a perfect weekend break.
Mr Baker, Aberdeen, February 2012
The location was excellent for walking Hadrian's Wall and exploring locally.
Mr Hughes, Kidderminster, September 2011
Lovely cottage and ideally situated for excellent walking. We liked the close proximity to Hadrian's Wall and local tourist attractions. The locals were very friendly and helpful, in particular the landlady at the 'Samson Inn' which was ideally situated close to the cottage.
Mr Cawdron, Poole, July 2011
We loved the 5 nights at Bibra and would definitely return in the near future. It had everything we needed for our stay.
