The Bothy at Ivy Cottage, is a beautiful, centuries-old stone Shepherd’s Hut, situated in the hamlet of Red Path just a short drive to the popular town of Haltwhistle, with its busy train station and local buses connecting the town, and the area, to Newcastle and Carlisle. The Bothy is surrounded by dramatic countryside, woodlands and magnificent views as far as the eye can see, and sandwiched between The Kielder Forest, Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines AONB.
It’s also the ideal place from which to visit almost 2000 years of Roman history on Hadrian’s Wall, less than 3-miles away, and close by to the Roman Forts of Vindolanda, Chesters, & Housesteads. The historic towns of Hexham and Corbridge are a short drive away, and further afield you can enjoy Morpeth, Rothbury, Alnwick, and along the East Coast to Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island.
There is an abundance of pubs, quaint tea shops and restaurants serving great local produce to Michelin starred food within easy driving distance.
