Old Reading Room is a beautiful, detached stone property set in the tranquil coastal village of Lesbury, close to the stunning Northumbrian heritage coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a lovely 20-minute walk alongside the Aln River to the beach at Alnmouth, a picture postcard village with pubs, restaurants and coffee shops, and where you may spot a local artist or photographer capturing the beautiful sweeping golden beach and river estuary. Alnwick, the Ducal town where the Duke and Duchess reside in the famous castle, is only four miles away. Here you can explore some of the cobbled streets, cafés and alleyways whilst browsing the shops and stopping off for lunch. Three historic castles are within a 10-mile radius of the Old Reading Room, ensuring your days out are within easy driving distance. Amble is a friendly small harbour town with a lovely Sunday market, which is popular with both locals and visitors, and you can browse the little shopping pods, too, picking up a local treasure to take home. When visiting the area, Craster Kippers are a must and can be bought at the old smokery in Craster village whilst out exploring. Northumberland is a diverse county with a stunning National Dark Sky Park, rugged moorlands, hills and valleys, Hadrian’s Wall, the Angel of the North and beautiful beaches, some of which are perfect for surfing or simply rock pooling and relaxing. A trip to Old Reading Room will leave you relaxed, chilled and looking forward to the next time you can visit.
