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 Prospect Cottage:
The house is spacious and very comfortable with great heating. The kitchen is large and a pleasure to use. Decor well above the standard one expects in a holiday rental. Nice to come 'home' to after a day of sightseeing.
Ms Burton, Avalon NSW, March 2012
The cottage was extremely spacious and comfortable. It was very convenient for the local shops, pubs/restaurants and bus service. We enjoyed lots of walks in the beautiful countryside and visited Durham, Newcastle, Corbridge and Hexham. A very enjoyable holiday.
Mrs Webster, Nottingham, October 2011
A great location. Very friendly owners, great cottage for a split group with two self-contained 'wings' off the main living area.
Mr Price, Wallington, September 2011
The friendliness of the villagers - especially in the church - and of people everywhere; the village facilities; the secluded but not isolated position of the cottage; the helpful owners; the well-equipped kitchen; the lovely countryside and interesting places to visit.
Your courteous efficiency.
