Northumberland National Park

Northumberland National Park, located in the North of England, offers an alluring retreat for two, nestled near the picturesque Hadrian's Wall and the quaint village of Bardon Mill. This property, which previously served as a residence for the renowned author Catherine Cookson during her writing of the Mallen series, ensures privacy while being adjacent to the owners' home. The surrounding area is rich in history and natural beauty, with attractions like Vindolanda, a notable Roman settlement, and Housesteads Fort, both of which are easily accessible and provide opportunities for scenic walks amidst the stunning landscapes of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
