The charming village of Hallbankgate is located on the northern border of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Hallbankgate, once a community of coal and lead miners and the location of the illustrious Lord Carlisle's railway, is today a charming vacation spot ensconced in Cumbria's natural beauty, with remarkable limestone quarries laying on its southern end. The Belted Will, a quaint, 17th-century bar named after Lord William Howard of Naworth Castle, is well-liked by the townspeople and is known for its excellent food and helpful service. Additionally, Hallbankgate is home to a convenient grocery where vacationers may stock up on all of their needs. The community backs up to the rspb Geltsdale nature reserve, where hikers and cyclists can roam at their leisure while observing Cumbrian wildlife. Even closer to the hamlet is the well-liked fishing and picnic area of Talkin Tarn Country Park. Before going on to the remnants of Hadrian's Wall, travel farther afield to Lanercost, where history buffs will be happy to find the spectacular ruins of the once-famous Lanercost Priory. Visitors have plenty of options for days out loaded with activities and culture thanks to the accessibility of Brampton and Carlisle.

Clare
It was easy to find and very well placed for exploring Hadrian's Wall and the Lakes. The cottage was spotless and beautifully appointed. Owner Eddie was very friendly and the welcome package was very generous. We had pretty terrible weather so having a very good tv with Netflix was a bonus in the evenings. Also the combination of no light pollution and very good blinds and beds gave us all very good nights sleeps. Only slight niggles were that the back garden wasn't attached to the house it was across a shared drive and through a hidden gate so you couldn't just let the dog out the back door. Also the sloping ceilings upstairs could be problem for families taller than us. All in though a fabulous short break. Thank you

The cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The biscuits, milk etc. waiting for us on arrival was a nice touch, as was the visit from Eddie halfway through our stay to check on us and bring us some home grown tomatoes! The cottage location was very handy for popping into Carlisle, as well as trips to Vindolanda and further afield. We'll definitely be back!
