About this property

A ground floor, one-bedroom holiday apartment, part of a larger barn conversion, on the fringes of the pretty, rural village of Gilsland near Haltwhistle, in Hadrian's Wall Country. This apartment is well appointed and tastefully decorated, and provides an ideal romantic base to walk stretches of Hadrian's Wall. Roman Vindolanda, famous for the Roman parchment letters and settlement reconstruction, is within 10 miles, Housesteads Roman Fort is only a 15 minute car journey away while 14th century Thirlwall Castle, built of Roman stone, is nearby. The countryside is stunning, with wide panoramic views of the Roman wall, which follows the contours of the Whin Sill escarpment, as well as numerous walks, and the remains of the Roman river crossing at Willowford. This apartment is ideal for those wishing to explore further tracts of the Roman wall, the North Pennines, Eden Valley or the Scottish Borders.

Gilsland is a small village straddling both Northumberland and Cumbria, and is home to a country inn and a few small, local shops. It is situated on Hadrian's Wall, and is ideal for exploring the north Pennines, Eden Valley, the Scottish Borders and even as far south as the Lake District National Park.
