A picturesque landscape of high hills, open moorland, gently rolling farmland and the scenic River Breamish!
BREAMISH VALLEY winds through the Cheviot Hills of north Northumberland, meandering through the Northumberland National Park. Home to a wide range of wildlife, trees and flowers, the ancient landscape also boasts numerous Neolithic and Bronze Age hillforts and burial sites.
As part of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, Breamish Valley is a stargazer's paradise: it has the clearest night skies in England!
And being just a few miles from the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of Northumberland's unspoilt coastline and beaches, there's something for everyone to enjoy!
Beast from the East? The Siberian Bear? Well…the Swedes are calling it the Snow Cannon.
And so it continues…although the Breamish Valley has now been downgraded from an amber warning to a yellow warning. So, we’re approaching the end of this highly-unusual severe weather event that’s swept across Europe. Phew!
The UK calls it the Beast form the East. The Dutch call it the ‘Siberian Bear’.
Well…whatever you want to call the current unusual weather conditions that are gripping Europe – it’s certainly cold…and the snow is persistent.
Beast from the East blows cold in Powburn
Claire Miller (Clerk, Hedgeley Parish Council) has today received and forwarded the following information via Robbie Burn (Chair, Hedgeley Parish Council) regarding the above scheme of works.
I’ve known about this road sign on the A697 in Crawley Dene for a few years. It’s been at the side of the road, partially knocked down the embankment and in a bit of a sorry state.
Following yesterday’s appeal for help to do a Litter Pick on the A697, Robbie Burn has sent the following message and photo.
The villagers of Powburn today took advantage of the A697 being closed for repairs. Nine people turned up and picked up litter from both sides of the road from Powburn to the Glanton junction. As you can see from the photo they have done a magnificent job.
