Pretty villages are also in abundance, including Bamburgh, 6 miles, with its castle high on a rocky perch above the wide, golden sandy beach. Stunning Alnwick Castle, 15 miles away, is also worth a visit. As the backdrop of many films and TV programmes, this castle (together with its gardens and grand waterfall) draws many visitors, who can also experience dining in the largest treehouse restaurant in Europe. For those wishing to venture further north, the A1 gives easy access to Berwick-on-Tweed, a border town with Elizabethan walls, and one of the finest examples of an 18th-century Palladian house, Paxton House. The River Tweed, which runs through the town, is known as one of the best rivers for salmon fishing. Within an hour’s drive of The Corner House are vibrant Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Edinburgh, making this an excellent base from which to explore.
