Staward Gorge

Sunlight in the woods
Staward Gorge near Haydon Bridge is one of West Northumberland’s best kept secrets.  The gorge is home to the River Allen which winds its way through an area of ancient woodland and hides many secrets including a medieval pele tower, WWII Prisoner of War carvings and Lime Kilns, relics of an industrial past.  A former Victorian wilderness garden, ornamental and ancient trees mingle along the steep valley walls providing a home to a plethora of wildlife and plants. It’s a magnificent place; a place to explore, to play, to dream, and to be at one with the beauty of nature
