From these Northumberland cottages you can easily discover a great combination of sites and scenery. These properties are surrounded by the natural beauty and splendour of the northern Pennines and are within easy reach of two World Heritage Sites - Hadrian's Wall and Durham Cathedral. They say that it is the last wilderness in England, so a Northumbrian cottage holiday in the northern Pennines really is something different. The bleakness has a great beauty and the vast emptiness is inspiring. It features tumbling waterfalls, sweeping moorland views, dramatic dales and vibrant villages. Hadrian's Wall is at its most spectacular at the western edge of Northumberland and some of its most famous sites, including Housesteads, Vindolanda and Steel Rigg are within walking distance of one another. Durham and the impressive cathedral, together with the nearby castle, has been a World Heritage site since 1987. Thought by many to be the finest example of Norman church architecture in England, the cathedral dominates the old city on a rocky peninsula where the Rive Wear almost bends back on itself.
