Cottages in Rothbury

Rothbury, known as the 'Gateway to the Northumberland National Park' and is a perfect base to explore the heather topped expanses of the Simonside and Cheviot Hills.

The picturesque village of Rothbury can trace its origins back to 1100, whilst an early Saxon cross can be found in All Saints Church dating back to 800AD.

The evidence of Bronze Age settlements, hill forts and cup and ring marks have been discovered throughout surrounding hills. On the outskirts of this ancient market town is Cragside Estate.

Recently the town has been in the news with some unusually high floods.

Northumbria byways are fortunate to be able to offer many cottages both in the town and nearby. These include

The Masters Lodge

A little further afield in the historic village of Elsdon there is also

Gliding, first time airborne

Your 1st take off is very exciting, its bumpy, like a go cart but because you are being towed you have no control, just sit back and enjoy it.

Looking back over 2009 i came across this photograph taken from the cockpit of the Glider as it being towed...just about to be airborne.

The aerodrome at Millfield is convenient for all our Northumberland Cottages in the Glendale area. Basically Glanton, Wooler, Rothbury , Akeld, and of course the College Valley.
