Bridge Lines
Peggy Bell’s Bridge lines
Bridges are very much a part of the furnished landscape and Peggy Bell’s Bridge, over the River Breamish between Ingram and Linhope, is very much an iconic part of the Breamish Valley landscape.

River Trees
Breamish River Trees
Not river dogs this time but river trees. One last look at the de-foliated silhouettes of a few trees along the River Breamish before the leaves start to grow back, now that we’re heading for Spring.
Linhope Landscape
Linhope landscape: at the top of the valley
I really appreciate the landscape at the top of the Breamish Valley – just as you enter the Linhope Estate. The views are superb. I call it ‘our little piece of Austria’ because it reminds me of some of the rolling hills and upland meadows to be found there.
Village Halls Remain Closed until 17 May 2021
We have today (5 March 2021) received the following Press Release from ACRE.
National charity, Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) has issued new information to help village halls make sense of the latest announcements about the lifting of national lockdown restrictions.
Contrary to the government’s announcement on 22 February, village halls will not be able to reopen after Easter, except for a small number of permitted activities.
