Wansbeck Retreat
Morpeth is a pretty historic small town only a few miles from the coast and Wansbeck Retreat is only a short walk to an abundance of cafés, high quality bars, restaurants and bistros and some wonderful bespoke shops. A great base for up to six people for a special short break or a longer holiday, set over three floors this stone town house was built in the early 1900s and retains character and charm throughout.
With a fully enclosed rear pebbled patio area with trees and shrubs it’s a lovely place to sit on a sunny evening or morning. Morpeth has a delightful Edwardian Arcade, restored to its full glory with shops and cafés to delight all age groups. The streets and parks in Morpeth will always have flowers and the small town is popular with local folks particularly the arts and crafts gallery set in the 13th century Chantry at the bottom end of the town. For those that like some history then the county of Northumberland which is reputedly the friendliest county in England is steeped in history.
The heritage coastline with miles of golden beaches is peppered with castles, travel north to the enchanting tiny island of Lindisfarne, known as Holy Island or take a day in Alnwick there the Duke still resides in the 700-year-old castle, favoured for the movie scenes featured in Harry Potter, Braveheart and Downton Abbey, visitors love to visit here and then go onto the Duchess famous water gardens. If hiking is your thing the nearby Cheviots are perfect but if not, then perhaps take a day over to Cragside House in Rothbury only 30 minutes away the first house to be powered by hydroelectricity. A golf course is nearby in Morpeth as is the train station where you can leave your car and hop on a train to Newcastle, Edinburgh or York to experience a lovely day trip.
Only 15 miles you can visit Newcastle, steeped in history, here you can admire the beautiful buildings on Grey Street and experience some wonderful food and drinks, then meander down to the Quayside and take a look at the Tyne Bridge, wherever you travel in this wonderful diverse county you will be sure to receive a real warm “Geordie” welcome.
