Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A small stone cottage and farmhouse near the River Tyne, the birthplace of naturalist, artist, and engraver Thomas Bewick (1753–1828). Bewick was inspired by the landscape near his home, and grew to become Northumberland's best known artist. The house is filled with memorabilia and displays telling the story of Bewick's lfe and work. Visitors can also learn the traditional techniques of woodblack engraving and hand priniting.

Bewick was born in the cottage at Cherryburn, and his family later lived in the nearby farmhouse. There are walks along the river and through the surrounding countryside. Cherryburn also hosts regular folk music concerts. See the National Trust website for details.
