Crown Studio Gallery

Artist run Gallery, featuring landscape paintings by owner Lynda Taylor. The gallery also stocks fine quality work created by fellow artist makers as well as prints, homewares, jewellery and cards printed with Lynda Taylor designs. Accessible by wheelchair (using the gallery's portable ramp.)

This gallery is a must visit when visiting Rothbury! Linda’s art quintessentially captures the sweep and beauty of the Northumberland countryside. After driving through this lovely area, her art is the perfect purchase for bringing home mementos from your trip. Choose from stunning, full scale landscapes to simpler, more whimsical pieces. Ask about her husband’s pottery studio, PottedHistory, which is close by as well. Cheerio!

The Lady's Well

Reviewed By profjoypc - Alnwick, United Kingdom

What a serene and 'magical' place. The tranquil well is sited in a remote rural location and is well worth visiting. The water is clear and pure and the whole place is steeped in ancient history. There is also a really interesting statue on the site that was transported from Alnwick. One can park a five minute walk from the well site and there are lovely woodland walks too in the vicinity.

The Narrow Nick

A small friendly micro pub serving not just local handpull ales but wines, ciders and spirits including over 40 gins, set in the heart of Rothbury Northumberland.

Reviewed By Geebish - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

Unassuming from the outside, this pub has filled a shop in the town, and it’s fantastic. Always good ale on tap, and a selection of other pints, everybody will find something to drink here! A warm welcome to regulars and visitors, good dogs welcome, and because it’s run independently, the cost of a round won’t raise an eyebrow!!

Sycamore Gap

Reviewed By wagatron - Crewe, United Kingdom

We did come originally at lunchtime on 27 August, however we could not park at steel rig car park. Therefore we came back on our way home and got there at 8am on 30 August. Hardly anyone around and the most beautiful and well worth the early morning get up. What an experience and to see a film location from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves where Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner walked the wall. Highly recommended.

Rothbury Riverside Walk

Reviewed By JoyinAlvecote - Ao Nang, Thailand

We had a big lunch in Rothbury and we were recommended this walk as an aid to digestion! Absolutely stunning walk in both directions and very safe too. We headed out of Rothbury first towards Thropton along the river and then across a field on a public footpath. I would say in total a one hour walk as a round trip. Very enjoyable on a sunny day!
