Gilsland
Set in beautiful dramatic countryside on the border between Northumberland & Cumbria. Gilsland has a pub, House of Meg tearooms and Gilsland Spa Hotel. Discover the Irthing Gorge and see the Popping Stone where Sir Walter Scott popped the question to Miss Charpentier. The Roman Wall passes through the village with Poltross Burn Milecastle only a ten minute stroll from Alpha Rise. To the West of the village a fine stretch of the wall leads to the River Irthing, where a metal bridge was built at Willowford in 2001, providing a continuous route to Birdoswald Roman Fort.
Relax and enjoy a tranquil escape in this peaceful village.
