Shops & Restaurants
The local vicinity has no shortage of good old-fashioned
English pubs that have managed to avoid the "advantages" of
modernisation. There are also many fine restaurants within
a short drive of the cottages, whilst Tillmouth
Park Hotel with its majestic grounds is perfect for that
extra special evening.
Sightseeing
Ford
Castle is a fifteen minutes walk and Holy
Island is some 15 miles from Kimmerston. The very spectacular
Bamburgh
Castle is a twenty-minute drive, as is Seahouses
Harbour from where boat trips around the Farne
Islands bird sanctuary depart. The famous (newly opened)
Alnwick
Garden is now open to the public.
Walking
Whilst the
Cheviot Hills offers many a challenging ten-mile hike,
some guests are happy to stroll down to the river and merely
enjoy the view.
Fishing
Good local, inexpensive fishing
(within walking distance) on the River Till is always available
and Salmon fishing on the famous waters of the Tweed, or any
of its tributaries, can be arranged.
Golf
Bamburgh
Castle Golf Course, described by the AA as one of the
most beautiful courses in Britain, takes visitors all year
round. There is also Doddington golf course only three miles
away where it is as if you are on top of the world! There
are also several other golf
courses in the area.
