General Description | |
The Milecastle Inn is located in one of the most important areas along the Roman Wall. There are more sites of Roman camps in the fields around us than anywhere else on the Wall. It was here the Stanegate, the earlier Roman road, that ran from Corstopitum to Luguvallium (Corbridge to Carlisle) was closest to the construction site of the Wall. Visitors can use the cottages as a base whilst walking the length of Hadrians Wall (in stages of course) or alternatively keen cyclists can join the new Hadrians Wall Cycle Route which follows the wall for 174 miles and runs past the cottages. Salmon fishing can be enjoyed along a 10 mile stretch of the River Tyne near the small market town of Haltwhistle which is famously known as the Centre of Britain.During the holiday season there is an open air swimming pool with a gymnasium,squash court and other leisure facilities in Haltwhistle. Milecastle Cottages are ideally situated for those wishing to enjoy a golfing holiday with a number of quality courses within a 20 mile radius Carlisle, Brampton, Hexham, Matfen Hall and Slaley Hall to name but a few. The cottages are ideal to use as a base if you wish to visit some of our beautiful heritage landmarks, Hexham Abbey, Carlisle Castle, Tullie House Carlisle.
