In the heart of Northumberland, this striking estate is in easy reach of the bustling shops, museums, sporting arenas and eateries of Newcastle Upon Tyne, all just half an hour’s drive away, but the countryside location is a million miles from the bright lights, offering rugged natural beauty, historic landmarks and quaint market towns aplenty.

For those looking to indulge in the area’s rich history a trip to Chester’s Roman Fort offers the chance to explore an outpost set alongside the 83 miles of Hadrian’s Wall.  Dating back to AD 123, this Roman cavalry fort has beautifully preserved roman baths, steam room and officer’s quarters to discover, all set in the rugged beauty of Northumberland’s rolling hills.   Set yourself a challenge to walk or cycle the length of the wall or book a local guide to discover facts and information about the arduous process of building and maintaining the historic site.

Take a drive to the thriving market town of Hexham, and make sure you stop off at the historic Hexham Abbey.  Dating back to AD674, this historic structure houses hands on exhibits and experiences that will suit all ages.   Whilst in Hexham, don’t miss a visit to the Hexham Gaol, now a museum with a range of exhibits from archaeology to costumes.

A pretty walk to Hareshaw Linn (12 miles) will take you over six bridges and lead you to a striking 9m waterfall.  Set within a wildlife rich ancient woodland, this is a great place for a picnic and photo opportunity.  Look out for woodpeckers, red squirrels and bats!

Travel further afield for a day trip to the astounding Alnwick Castle.  Stroll amongst the courtyards and archways that featured dominantly in the first two Harry Potter films as the location for Hogwarts.   Right next to the castle are the beautiful Alnwick Gardens, a 12-acre landscaped garden with its grand tiered water feature, the Grand Cascade, exotic plant life and impressive wooden treehouse restaurant.

Keen golfers will be tempted for a round at Matfen Park, a Championship Northumberland course hosted by Warwick Hall’s sister estate.  Set in an idyllic landscape you can try a round or visit the driving range and Par-3 area.   If golfing isn’t your thing then contact the estate’s reception to arrange a hunting and shooting trip, accommodating all levels and tailored to the individual’s taste.  Or if you’d like to try your hand at River Fishing, then local expert, James Stokoe offers guided fishing days along the stunning warden stretches of the river.
