In the heart of Northumbria, secluded lanes lead
to peaceful villages, ancient castles and country estates. Quiet
roads, bridleways and tracks make superb cycling, riding and
walking routes through unspoilt countryside. The Rothbury Forest
and heather clad slopes of the Simonside Hills are viewed from
Garrett Lee. The magnificent Cheviots, Thrunton Woods
and Harwood Forest are all within easy reach.
