Holystone is a stunning hamlet where the River Coquet weaves its way up the valley; a popular location for ramblers and cyclists or those who simply yearn to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life for a more peaceful, relaxing pace. The picturesque small town of Rothbury sits at the foot of the Simonside and Lordenshaw Hills; it straddles the banks of the trout and salmon rich River Coquet where a licence and permit for fishing can be obtained locally and has several quaint tea rooms, pubs, shops and a riverside 18 hole golf course. The 1,000 acres estate of Cragside, once home to Lord Armstrong, and the first home in the world to be lit by hydro electricity is an interesting National Trust visitor attraction close by. The bustling market town of Alnwick, protected by its dramatic castle is the ancestral home to the Duke of Northumberland (and film location for Harry Potters Hogwarts Academy!) and offers an abundance of facilities including a cinema/playhouse, leisure centre with indoor swimming and a good selection of restaurants, tea rooms and shops. Visitors enjoy seeing the spectacular Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade Waterfall and restaurant incorporated within the largest tree house in Europe, 15 miles east. The Heritage coastline this area is proud to have acknowledged as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is less than 20 miles east ensuring Gardeners Cottage is an excellent base for exploring both the wild and unspoilt countryside coupled with easy access to the seashore
