see and do
from Hilltop
Hilltop is almost exactly centrally located to explore the rest of Northumberland and we don’t intend to replicate here what the Internet can tell you in much more detail but here are our top recommendations around the compass…..
North
- Beamish Valley, Ingram, Linhope Spout, The Cheviot Hills
North East
-
Dunstanburgh
and Bamburgh Castles
(there are lots of castles in Northumberland!), Seahouses and Craster
East
- Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens, Warkworth Castle and the fishing port of Amble
South East
- Morpeth and Newcastle (The Toon) - the heart of the Geordie nation
South-Roman Northumberland including Hadrian's Wall, Houseteads, Vindolanda and Corbridge
South West
- Market towns of Bellingham and Hexham with Hexham Abbey a highlight
West
- Kielder Forest and Kielder Water - dark skies and outdoor adventure
Plus -
on the doorstep, walks in the hills above Rothbury, Cragside House and Gardens, Wallington Hall and The Coquet Valley
