Arriving by road on the A697 the turning says Branton and Fawdon. Branton is about a mile down the road, past Breamish Valley Caravan Site and two near right-angle bends. As you enter the village, you will see Branton Church House on your right, and on the corner past this is a red wall-mounted postbox. This is the row of cottages you are looking for.
Number 3 is the middle one with a white door. You should be able to park outside the cottage; if necessary you can use the area in front of the Church House until a space is available. Please do not park in front of our neighbours' houses, except to unload.
By Car
From the North take the A697 south towards Wooler, where you can stop and pick up any shopping you may need (the Co-op is open until 10pm). From Wooler it is 9 miles south, past the brown tourist sign indicating ‘Ingram’ and ‘National Park’ to your right. Just before Hedgeley Services take the right-hand turn to Branton and Fawdon. If you miss the turning there is another one you can take just before the bridge as you enter Powburn.
From the South take the A1 north past Newcastle and Morpeth, then follow the sign for Rothbury and Coldstream onto the A697. About half an hour’s drive brings you to Powburn. Go through the village, just past the service station (where you can collect any shopping you might need up to 10pm) and take the first turning on the left, signed to Branton and Fawdon.
Coming by Train
There’s masses of walks straight from the front door, and we have bikes to take you further afield. The nearest station is Alnmouth (a few minutes drive from Alnwick) on the East Coast Mainline, about 20 minutes north of Newcastle. You can book a taxi to Branton from AlnwickTaxis costing roughly £35.There is a fantastic convenience store in Powburn, a mile from the cottage, and supermarkets will do online deliveries too. Once you’re at the cottage there is a limited bus service to Alnwick, Wooler and nearby villages from Glen Valley Tours .
