Rothbury
Rothbury is a small market town that straddles the River Coquet. The town has a pleasant mix of old stone and newer brick-built properties. Although a town that had a proposal a year or so ago to install a town mayor (which was defeated), everyone still tends to call it a village. Shops, hotels and houses are clustered along the sloping banks of the river, which bisects the village with the majority of the commercial properties situated on the north side. From all sides the views are magnificent – Cragside, Blaeberry Hill, Simonside and in the far distance, the Cheviots. Rothbury and Coquetdale have something to offer everyone; even in the depths of winter. In spring the clear, fresh air, fast-flowing streams and river have a refreshing effect. In summer the town is sheltered and warm, and there are a variety of small specialist shops that many people return to every year.
