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!
It’s that time of the year again – when snowdrops appear seemingly everywhere along the Breamish Valley and throughout Northumberland.
The conditions seem to have been just right as there is a spectacular display of snowdrops this year.
The A697 will be closed on Monday 26 February 2018, from 9am to 3pm. The closure is from the south end of Powburn to the Glanton junction. This is an ideal time to get in and pick up all the rubbish.
Robbie Burn (Chair of Hedgeley Parish Council) has today attended a public meeting in Belford regarding Highways England’s proposed closure of the A1 for 17 days as from 2 March 2018. County Councillor Wendy Pattison also attended the meeting and she has just released the following statement.
In 2015, I saw my first basking adder of the new season on 8 March 2015.
In 2016, it was around the same time of the year on 12 March 2016 that the basking adders were back.
