Milecastle Inn

In a wonderfully remote and peaceful location high on the moorland edge, one horizon is serrated by the line of Hadrian's Wall; easy walks up the lane pass Roman camps to reach Milecastle 42 beside the Wall at Cawfield Crags. Tasty beers from Newcastle's Big Lamp Brewery are ample reward for a breezy stroll, accompanied by home-cooked meals and ever-changing specials covering bases such as rabbit casserole or beer-battered haddock. A roaring winter fire takes the chill, or sit out and enjoy the curlew-haunted countryside.
