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!
We have today reported on the Breamish Hall fundraising success – having raised a total of £32,900 to upgrade the car park, refurbish the Hall, etc.
We would like to add our thanks to everyone who has supported the various fundraising events – and also offer MANY THANKS to the members of the Breamish Hall Committee who have worked so hard behind the scenes.
We have just received the following good news from Doreen Burn (Secretary for the Breamish Hall Committee).
“As you know, we were trying to raise funding for the car park at the Hall. We needed to raise £22,742.
Following our recent post showcasing photographer David Hanks’ Branton Lakes 360-degrees aerial ‘movie’, David has been out with his drone again: this time, photographing the Hedgeley Lakes.
His work provides another striking perspective on our local landscape. He’s created two movies: one shot at 100m (which gives the same perspective as the Branton Lakes 360-degrees movie that was also photographed at 100m) and one shot at 50m. You can view them here:

I’ve just had an email from Cheltenham-based photographer David Hanks who has recently been staying at the River Breamish Caravan Club site.
He’s created a stunning 360-degrees aerial view of Branton Lakes Nature Reserve.
If you want to see the Branton Lakes and the immediate surrounding area like (I suspect) you’ve never seen before then take a look at David’s work here:
