Directions:
How To Find Us (avoiding a steep and dangerous ford) Take the turning into Wooler marked Town Centre off the A697. Look for a pub called the Wheatsheaf on a corner site. Opposite this is another pub this time the Anchor at the start of a hill (Cheviot Street) which is signed for Earle and Northumberland National Park - take this turning. Follow this road (out into the country!) until you come to a right hand turn straight on for Northumberland N.P. and right for Earle and Middleton Hall.;
