Forest View Walkers Inn
About
Forest View Walkers Inn is a charming four‑star guesthouse nestled in the heart of the Cheviot foothills, just a stone’s throw from the famed Pennine Way. The family‑run establishment offers seven rooms—single, twin or triple—each with en‑suite or private facilities, and features a resident restaurant & bar where locally brewed real ales and a diverse selection of wines and spirits are on tap. Guests can enjoy a complimentary shuttle service as part of a two‑night stay, cutting the 28‑mile walk to Kirk Yetholm to a single, stress‑free day. The inn’s location between Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest Park makes it an ideal base for walking, cycling, relaxing, or stargazing under the clear countryside skies. Warm, country‑style hospitality and criss‑crossed trails nearby make it a favourite destination for families, nature enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.
