Thistle Dee also sits on the Sandstone Way; a 120-mile mountain biking route. Wooler is said to be the inspiration for ‘Postman Pat’s Greendale’, being the gateway to the Cheviots.

Thistle Dee is only 15 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, with a beautiful beach and plenty of shops and history.

Holy Island Causeway is only 14 miles, where the Lindisfarne Gospels were kept (check the tides). The location really is ideal for exploring in all directions of Northumberland and Scotland’s Border counties.

Spacious house, spotlesly clean and really well equipped. The house is just a short walk from the shops and pubs of Wooler. We found the locals to be really friendly had we had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Black Bull. We also enjoyed a lovely walk from the house to Wooler Common. The log burner was fantastic on such a cold weekend.
