Haltwhistle itself is on the main Carlisle-Newcastle railway line and has an excellent range of services and shops as well as the nearest public transport by bus. There are many fascinating walks in the countryside and hills nearby, including the Pennine Way which passes only a few hundred yards away, and the South Tyne Trail which follows the disused railway line from Alston passing over the newly restored Lambley Viaduct.
Parents too can join in if they wish.
All the cottages are inspected annually and graded by the Tourist Board and have a range of equipment such as cots, high chairs, fire-guards etc. making them suitable for all ages of family. Arrangements can be made for ordering groceries and Sunday papers and there is a telephone box and post box with two collections daily in the farmyard where cars can be parked safely and conveniently. Pets are accepted by agreement. This site developed and maintained by Ridegfield-Pennine Ltd click here for more information.
