Bewcastle
Bewcastle is a border town that has been fought over for three thousand years yet still continues to retain the rugged beauty that is reminiscent of the border regions. This includes the haunt of the buzzard, curlew and lapwing in addition to grazing of the sheep. It’s an excellent center for exploration as well as visiting the Lake District, Pennines, Cheviots, Scottish Lowlands and coast of Northumberland. While you will see the roads in the national parks filled to capacity, Bewcastle’s roads tend to see more sheep than cars. The beauty of the nature that surrounds Bewcastle makes it an excellent place to visit for anyone looking to embark upon some walking, cycling, horseback riding or any other types of activities.
With such a rich historical past, one can find adventure and excitement in viewing remnants of the past in Bewcastle. You should not be drawn to Bewcastle by mere curiosity or a passion for natural beauty.

The natural beauty and the rich history are only two of many reasons to want to visit Bewcastle but you shouldn’t make them your only reasons.
