8. Beltingham part 2 - the village and a walk
A fine house next to St Cuthbert's Church in Beltingham.
The centre of the tiny village of Beltingham, in the centre the Lych Gate entrance to St Cuthbert's Church.
Many of the cottages of Beltingham, and their gardens, are adorned with many pretty flowers.
There are several directions to walk from the village of Beltingham. In our case we headed west.
In the distance is a 13th-17th century fortified house called Willimontswick. (enlarged below)
The area provides quiet, pleasant and relatively undramatic vistas.
Looking north to the low hills beyond Bardon Mill.
On returning to Beltingham, you can see the bridge o Riding Mill/Crow Hallover the River South Tyne in the centre.
