Rothbury, Northumberland

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A lovely old town in Upper Coquetdale, Northumberland, at the foot of Simonside. Rothbury makes an excellent base for walking, with several long distance paths running nearby, including one that takes in Rothbury Terraces; a series of switchbacks ascending the hillside above the town. Several waymarked walks ascend Simonside, where remains of ancient burial sites can be seen. Within the parish church is a 9th century Saxon cross, set beneath the font. Nearby is the Victorian stately home of Cragside, built by architect Norman Shaw for industrialist Sir William Armstrong in 1864.
