Durham 8 miles; Newcastle 20 miles.
Set in the beautiful countryside of County Durham, approximately eight miles to the west of the historic City of Durham itself, is the village of Lanchester. The village took its name from the Roman fort of Longovicium situated half a mile south-west of Lanchester. Today, the Roman connection is reflected in the many Northumbrian tourist attractions along Hadrian’s Wall. Evidence of the Roman occupation in Lanchester is strong - stones from the original fort are incorporated into both local farm buildings and Lanchester’s attractive Church of All Saints, dating from Norman times. Now a thriving and substantial village, Lanchester has a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. The surrounding countryside is superb for walking - the Lanchester Valley Walk runs the course of a disused railway line from Consett to Durham and is excellent for walkers or cyclists. With Durham City just 8 miles away, and Newcastle just 20 miles, there are many fantastic shopping opportunities within easy reach. An excellent base for Weardale and Teesdale, Cumbria and The Pennines, not to mention the historic Roman Wall Country together with the fabulous beaches and castles of the North Sea Coastline.

Previous visitors' comments about The Granary:
A very cosy and welcoming cottage, in beautiful scenery. The owners were friendly and welcoming, but unobtrusive. The cottage was near to interesting and attractive places and also near enough to shops. We chose the property as it was close enough to Newcastle to spend some time with our oldest son who is at university there.
Mrs Fishpool, Abingdon, February 2012
Nicely furnished and the setting was fantastic - views from every window. Friendly owners and could not fault anything.
Mrs O'Connor, Hull, February 2012
Really friendly owners. A very nice property, well maintained and it had everything we could ever need for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed our stay there. Would highly recommend this property to anyone.
