Old High Shield Cottage is a spacious bungalow with lovely views of Northumberland’s striking scenery. Part of that scenery is one of the UK’s most important historical features, Hadrian’s Wall. Vindolanda and Housestead’s Roman Forts are under a mile, and further up the wall are Sewingshields Crags, Milecastle 35, and Turret 34a. In the other direction, Carlisle is 25 miles.
