Battlesteads

Local attractions

Kielder Water the largest man-made lake in Europe. Kielder stretches along the North Tyne Valley for about seven miles, has 27 miles of shoreline and a surface area of 2684 acres. It features many outdoor sporting activities including shooting, fishing, riding, boating, windsurfing, walking and much more.

Hadrian's Wall crossed the River North Tyne only a few miles south of Wark, near the Roman fort of Chesters (CILURNUM) and the modern day village of Wall. This fort was one of the biggest in the Wall Country and was originally built to house a cavalry regiment.


Golf the Battlesteads is ideally placed for a number of county courses including Bellingham, Haltwhistle, Hexham, Slaley Hall, Tynedale and Allendale. Very reasonable rates at all courses, so good value for 3 or 4 night stay.
