Rothbury is a
small market
town which
straddles the
river Coquet,
with its two
sides linked by
the ancient
Coquet Bridge.
Backed by the
Simonside hills,
the views from
all sides of the
town are
spectacular,
making it
popular with
artists,
photographers
and nature
lovers alike.
With so much
tranquil
countryside, it
is also a haven
for walkers and
mountain bikers.
Rothbury's
location in the
centre of
Northumberland
makes it an
ideal base for
exploring the
rest of the
county. Being
just 30 minutes
away from the
picturesque
Cheviots,
Hadrian's wall,
and the coast -
itself a
designated area
of outstanding
natural beauty
with its golden
sandy beaches
and a number of
castles. |
