Places of interest

In the other direction, heading towards the Scottish Border you can visit the historic towns just north of the Cheviots such as Jedburgh, Hawick and Coldstream. Closer to home, you have on your doorstep, access to Alnwick centre - a town of great historic interest and the ancestral home of the Dukes of Northumberland.
