Hadrian Lodge sits high in the North Pennines, on the southern tip of the beautiful Northumberland National Park. It is a tranquil setting, amidst open pasture and gently undulating hills bordered by pine forest. It is an area of fabulous landscapes, with high crags and fertile valleys, gentle hills and sweeps of open moorland, with just the cry of the curlew and the bleating of the sheep breaking the peace and calm.
