About Golfing

The Allendale Golf Course is a few miles away.
Slaley International Golf course is half an hour away.
Allendale is laid out on a west facing hillside at High Studdon,
it commands superb views of the Dale of Allen.
With its scattering of remote farm buildings and
the Cheviots which dominate the northern skyline
some 40 miles away, it is designated as an area
of outstanding natural beauty.The nine hole course
has been described by many as "challenging" and
boasts many interesting obstacles. It is certainly
not for the fainthearted but, time and again, visitors
return determined to beat the ditches, gullies, and
wooded fairways that make Allendale so special.

The cottage lies in the dale but you can soon walk or drive onto the moors. There is plenty of Industrial Archaeology and Roman history.
