Location
Standing on the shore of beautiful Budle Bay, an area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its birdlife, at the mouth
of the River Waren lies Waren Lea Hall This gracious Edwardian
Gentleman’s Residence enjoys spectacular views over the bay to Lindisfame (Holy
Island) and the Cheviot Hills. In addition to The Hall are two
entirely self-contained apartments, Ghillie’s View and
Garden
Cottage.
Fantastic Coastline
Occupying an unrivalled position for walkers and ornithologists, Waren Lea Hall
offers the opportunity to experience the comfort and style of a bygone age. The
bird-watching on the bay is world-renowned for its nesting shelduck, vast
skeins of geese, waders and migrants. Look for the evocative turquoise flash of
the resident kingfishers, watch the herons fishing the waterfall, the eider
ducks catching crabs, roe deer on the water’s edge and maybe, just maybe, even
see the otters playing in the Bay.
Beautiful Location
Dramatic castles such as Alnwick (with the fabulous Alnwick Gardens),
Dunstanburgh, Chillingham (with its wild white cattle) and of course Bamburgh
Castle itself lie close by. Take a trip in a fishing boat around the Farne
Islands, home of the Grey Seals, landing on the islands to see nesting seabirds
such as puffins, terns and eider ducks and visit the 14th century chapel and
working lighthouses. A short drive across a tidal causeway takes you to the
enchanting island of Lindisfarne (Holy Island), cradle of English Christian
history, with its historic 7th century Priory and fairytale Lutyens’ Castle.
Historic Attractions
Lose all sense of time in the beautiful Cheviot Hills and visit the sites of 500
years of border battles such as Flodden Field. Hadrian’s Wall, the northernmost
outpost of the Roman Empire and a World Heritage Site and the immense grandeur
of Kielder Water, England’s largest inland lake, lie within an hour. Visit the
stately houses and gardens of Cragside, Belsay and Wallington. Walk the Tudor
ramparts around the border town of Berwick, and see the salmon being caught by
the local fishermen.
Superb Activities

kayaking, sea and river canoeing, rock climbing, bird-watching and walking. Or
just enjoy visiting one of England’s largest secondhand bookshops in Alnwick,

fire. Delight in some of the country’s best food: Lindisfarne oysters, Craster
kippers, and magnificent fish and seafood, salmon, sea trout, crabs, lobsters
