Parishes to the North & West
The peaceful villages of Gilsland, Greenhead, Bewcastle and Lanercost were once at the heart of the cross-Border violence revealed in the ballads which attracted Sir Walter Scott to the area, with many dramatic ruined stone memorials of those times. Much earlier the Romans had crossed the area with their forts, roads and wall. (more)
Parishes in the East
The South Tyne as it flows to the east creates a more gentle, fertile landscape with fine mature woodland and charming villages and hamlets. (more)
Parishes in the South
To the south of Haltwhistle are the North Pennines, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The villages of the beautiful South Tyne Valley and the North Pennines are in outstanding walking country and offer the chance to see rarities such as Black Grouse and Hen Harriers. (more)
