Blanchland Abbey and Village walk
Blanchland is a village in Northumberland, England, on the County Durham boundary. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 135.
Set beside the river in a wooded section of the Derwent valley, Blanchland is an attractive small village in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Blanchland was formed out of the medieval Blanchland Abbey property by Nathaniel Crew, 3rd Baron Crew, the Bishop of Durham, 1674–1722. It is a conservation village, largely built of stone from the remains of the 12th-century Abbey. It features picturesque houses, set against a backdrop of deep woods and open moors. Located near the Derwent Reservoir, it provides facilities for sailing and fishing.The Lord Crewe Arms Hotel has a vast fireplace where 'General' Tom Forster hid during the Jacobite rising of 1715.
Scenes in the fictional town of Stoneybridge in the first three series of the CBBC TV programme Wolfblood were filmed in the village.
Its unspoilt qualities make it a frequent setting for period films, set in the 18th century, such as those based on the novels of Catherine Cookson.
Derwent Reservoir separates Northumberland and County Durham, offering picturesque, shrouded walking routes and stunning views across the water.
Don't forget of course Northumberland ha Kielder Water and forest, the largest man-made in Europe.
There are lots of walks to enjoy in Blanchland, from a family-friendly wildlife stroll along the riverbank & through woodlands, right up to the long distance Way of Light Northern Saints’ Trail. The North Pennines AONB’s Blanchland Geotrail leads you up the fell for a 3.5mile circular walk with spectacular views over the village and valley. (to be done when dry warm weather returns so stay connected :) )
I hope you enjoy this very abridged visit and look forward to the next adventure.
Take care, be safe and i'll see you on the next one :)
