Local Information

Coanwood is a village in Northumberland in the Parish of Haltwhistle. It is about 4 miles to the south-west of Haltwhistle and overlooks the South Tyne River. The closest village is Lambley.

Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles, and historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside, and abundant wildlife.

Haltwhistle town centre has a great selection of shops including small supermarkets, butchers, chemist, antique shop, florist, solicitors, estate agent, a building society, post office facilities, library, sports centre and swimming pool, a hospital and doctors’ surgery. There is also a good selection of take-away food venues, cafes, local Inns and restaurants.

Haltwhistle prides itself on being the 'Centre of Britain'; this small market town is well served by a range of local shops, good transport links and excellent pubs. There are 3 castles within a few miles of Haltwhistle; Blenkinsop and Bellister are ruins, but the 14th Century Thirlwall Castle is well-preserved and worth a visit. Five miles away are the Roman Forts of Housteads and the Vindolanda site, the best-preserved Roman camps on Hadrian's Wall.

Haltwhistle is situated only a few miles from Hexham and can be reached easily by road or rail and is ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast and the National Park. The historic market town of Hexham, dominated by its majestic abbey, offers an abundance of amenities only 12 miles east or travel an extra 20 minutes to sample the vibrant city of Newcastle or try a little retail therapy at the world-renowned Metro Centre. The Cumbrian and Scottish borders are close by; Carlisle is only 25 miles west, therefore making it a superb base for those seeking to explore the historic charms of Northumberland coupled with the magnificent Lakeland Fells. Gretna lies 28 miles away where you can easily explore the beautiful West Coast and its pretty seaside villages.
