Things To Do
The White Swan is an ideal base from which to explore the stunning Northumbrian countryside and its National Trust sites. Alnwick Castle and the fabulous gardens created by the Duchess of Northumberland are within a couple of minutes walk of the hotel, and just a short drive away, the unspoilt beaches of the North East coast, the magnificence of Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and Lindisfarne.
Walkers will love the breathtaking beauty of the Nothumberland National Park, and close by are several golf courses to challenge the enthusiast. With the bustling city centre of Newcastle and the ever popular Metro Centre only a 40 minute drive away, there's plenty for everyone.
