With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Morpeth, 16 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens, Woodhorn Museum and Northumberland Archives and Treacle Wool Shop. Don’t miss Berwick-upon-Tweed either! Just 25 miles away, Haggerston Castle, Chain Bridge Honey Farm and Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks and Main Guard are must-sees here.
