Local Information
Halton Lea Gate is a small, popular Northumbrian village, situated on the A689 just 18 miles to Carlisle and the M6, close to the boundary of the two counties of Northumberland and Cumbria. The village borders the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb). A long-distance footpath, The Pennine Way runs just to the east of the village. The towns of Brampton and Haltwhistle are both about 8 miles away and offer full amenities and train services to Newcastle and Carlisle for further connections.

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 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.
