Sightseeing
This is right next door to us and lovely for a wander around during the day and amazing stargazing on a dark clear night. There are night sky/star charts to help you identify what you are looking at. Many events are hosted here by the National Park Authority.

Right on our doorstep. We are approx 100m from Walltown Crags widely regarded as part of the most dramatic and beautiful section of Hadrians Wall A which runs between Housesteads Roman Fort and Walltown. Any visit to us without a walk along with wall would be like visiting Paris and not going to see the Eiffel Tower.
