HALTWHISTLE

Known as the 'Centre of Britain' this small market town is a great place from which to explore both Northumberland and Cumbria. Haltwhistle boasts a good range of shops and pubs - one of which, The Black Bull, is a real ale pub serving good food! There is an excellent leisure centre with swimming pool and cycle hire in the town, with pony trekking nearby. One of the best preserved stretches of Hadrian's Wall is only a mile to the north with various museums, forts and milecastles to be seen. There is even an ongoing 'dig' at the nearby site of Vindolanda. This truly is magnificent walking, riding and cycling country, with the Pennine Way and various bridleways and cycle routes passing rivers, forests, castles and of course, Hadrian's Wall. Visitors will enjoy this location in all weather and all seasons - a regular train and bus service from the town to both Newcastle, The Metro Centre and Carlisle, means that you can leave the car behind and enjoy!

The Property: Bridge Cottage

A cosy 19th Century end terraced cottage, set in a rural position on the outskirts of the popular market town of Haltwhistle. Recently refurbished and decorated to a high standard, the property offers comfortable and well-equipped accommodation, including a fully fitted kitchen, sitting room with dining area, and a pretty walled patio garden - perfect for eating al fresco. The area is one of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the heart of Hadrian's Wall Country and provides excellent walking and fishing (there is fishing on the North Tyne 2 minutes from the property). With the amenities of Haltwhistle close by, as well as access to attractions such as Alnwick Castle and the Heritage Coast, this makes a truly great base for a family holiday.
