Head north to the town of Wooler to find your amenities along with ample hiking trails; enjoy a drink at the popular Anchor Inn and Riverside Bar, before picking up your essentials from the convenience store and walking through Wooler Common to Humbleton Hill. Get even more involved in the outdoors and nature, and venture into the centre of the Northumberland National Park where you can take the family to view the mystical Hareshaw Linn Waterfall, visit the famous Sycamore Gap tree or stargaze at one of the park's many dark skies sites. The market town of Alnwick makes for a fabulous day out for history fans, with the Alnwick Castle, one of the UK's largest inhabited castles, the Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland and Bailiffgate Museum.
