Northumberland
A County Of Contrasts

Thorneyhaugh sits in an idyllic countryside location just outside the pretty market town of Rothbury in Northumberland.

For such a rural location, Rothbury and its surroundings provide a wide variety of things to do and see. From fishing in the River Coquet which is renowned for its seasonal run of sea trout and salmon to its own 18 hole golf course where visitors are welcomed. There is also Cragside House, the home of the industrialist, Lord Armstrong & the first property in the world to be lit by hydro-electric power. Now a National Trust property and well worth a visit to explore the amazing house and spectacular grounds.

Northumberland's Dark Skies

Northumberland's Dark Skies are rated as some of the most pristine in England. You don't need to travel far — just step outside one of our cottages and marvel at the night sky above you.

To The Hills & Beyond!

This area of Northumberland is dominated by spectacular hills - those of the nearby Simonside range & the magnificent Cheviot Hills within the Northumberland National Park. It is a wonderful place to explore on foot or on two wheels with miles of well-marked paths and trails suitable for all levels of experience.

History in the region lies around every corner, in fact Northumberland has more castles and fortified houses than any English county. A tantalising reminder that these hills were once “Debatable lands” and fought over by the roving bands of Scots and English known as the Border Reivers.

Take a trip to the coast for an unforgettable day amongst some of the finest beaches in the world. Often almost deserted, this is a place to enjoy the beauty of the open spaces, drink in the sea air and unwind from the pressures of modern life. There are a multitude of villages dotted along the coastline including Bamburgh with its skyline dominated by the magnificent castle, Alnmouth with its pretty bay and painted houses and bustling Amble with markets and shops.
