Set in an enviable position within Northumberland, on the edge of both Kielder Forest and Northumberland National Park, yet within an hour of Newcastle city, you will find an activity or pursuit whatever you tastes. However if your tastes are for the outdoors, heritage and a slightly more sedate pace you will be in Nirvana!

A short run from the Scotland/England border, Bellingham has on its doorstep a wealth of healthy facilities- from lake to river to stream, field to fell to crag (Not forgetting Hadrians Wall and the Pennine Way), moorland, woodland and forest.

Whether you want a small launch or Kayak, a pair of boots to walk the valley or a mountain bike to blast up the hillside; or whether your pursuits are more traditional.

All these sports integrate seamlessly with the natural and man made heritage of our valley- the engineering feat of Kielder Dam to the rustic charms of Black Middens Bastle House- a remnant from the areas bloody Reiver past, amongst many, many delighful and thought provoking structures that make Northumberland unique and breathtaking.
