Description of property |
|
|
|
|
| |
At the foothills of the Cheviots on a quiet country lane. Horse riding and carriage driving on site.
Surrounded by splendid countryside in the foothills of the Cheviots, this traditional 18th century stone cottage situated on a quiet country lane with scenic views, is located on a farm specialising in horse riding and carriage driving and is an ideal base for those wishing to combine these interests with a holiday in an area of great natural beauty and historical significance. The last great battle between the English and the Scots took place at Flodden Field, on the 9th September 1513 and the army of James IV set camp at Flodden Edge. At Chillingham, 10 miles, can be found the famous white cattle, the only wild herd in Europe, whilst at nearby Heatherslaw, there is a narrow gauge railway and working corn mill. The beautiful Northumberland coast is 30 minutes by car, and the Border region offers superb stately homes and abbeys to visit. The nearby Cheviot hills provide numerous footpaths and bridleways for horse riders, walkers and mountain bikers. Fishing and gliding available locally. Horse riding and carriage driving on site.

| Regional Information |
|
Situated in the rolling foothills of the Cheviots, the last great battle between the English and the Scots took place at Flodden Field on 9th September 1513 and the army of James IV set camp on land occupied by Flodden Edge Farm.
We afford immediate access to quiet footpaths with woodland walks and spectacular views.
We are adjacent to what is perhaps one of the most famous salmon & trout rivers, the Tweed. More accessible & affordable(!) is the River Till, the only English tributary of the Tweed. Game fishing is available by arrangement on the River Till.
Roe deer ordinarily cross our fields early morning. Buzzards can be seen most days soaring above Flodden hill at the back of the cottage. In addition we have a pair of barn owls & tawny owls & Peregrine falcon. More recently we have sighted a pair of (rare) ravens who are just establishing on crags across the valley. We frequently see stoat & fox hunting for rabbits & pheasants & for an early riser an occasional otter.
Otters, vole and kingfishers have also found the perfect home at The River Till near Etal (4 miles). At Chillingham Castle, 10 miles south east can be found the famous white cattle, the only wild cattle herd in Europe.
