The delightful village of Otterburn, once the site of the famous 1388 victory of the Scots over the English, is the former home of a busy weaving industry, and world famous Otterburn Mill marks the village's historic past. Peacefully nestling close to the banks of the River Rede, between the hills and moors overlooking the North Tyne Valley, it offers excellent walking opportunities and is a popular route for Coast-to-Coast cyclists. Hadrian's Wall and the beautiful Kielder Forest and Waters are close by, providing fantastic fishing, horse riding and nature watching, amidst superb, tranquil countryside. Nearby Bellingham, built predominantly from local stone and slate, houses a handful of pubs, shops and tea-rooms and a highly regarded 18 hole golf course. Visit the nearby, majestic, stately homes of Wallington Hall and Cragside, or the historic market town of Alnwick, with its stunning castle and gardens, a mere 40 minute drive. A superb location for a relaxing holiday, any time of year.
