For those not wanting to venture too far from Eglingham, the nearby inland and coastal areas of Northumberland offer a multitude of choices for walking, sporting and sightseeing.
Other Northumbrian towns and villages within easy striking distance include Alnmouth, Amble, Bamburgh, Beadnell, Ford and Etal, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Craster, Newton, Seahouses, Rothbury, Morpeth and Warkworth.
For those willing to drive a bit farther, Kelso, Melrose, Jedburgh and St Boswells in the Scottish Borders offer interesting days out.
Newcastle-upon-Tyne offers big city attractions such as shopping, art galleries, museums and theatres.
The stunning National Trust estates at Wallington Hall & Cragside are within an hours drive and well worth a visit.
Hadrian’s Wall is another popular destination. The World Heritage Site is only a short journey away, with many forts and Roman remains liberally dotted on the way.
Within Eglingham village, The Tankerville Arms is a true local, serving good food just a few steps from our cottage, plus there are numerous other country pubs and restaurants within a short drive.
Eglingham is easily accessible from the A1 and the A697 and is only 20 minutes by taxi from the main East Coast rail service at Alnmouth. Journey times by train between Alnmouth and London, Newcastle and Edinburgh are respectively just over three hours, thirty minutes and one hour.
“Thank you for a lovely comfortable cottage, nice to return to after a day sightseeing. Friendly pub with great food over the road, so convenient. Highly recommend Cragside (not to be missed) also walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle. Cannot believe the number of trees down following recent storms, such a beautiful area.”
