Morpeth is a beautiful area, and well known for its long, interesting history. Dating back to the 12th century, the town has a collection of landmarks waiting to be explored, such as Morpeth Chantry, a 13th-century chapel, or Collingwood house, the Georgian home of Admiral Lord Collingwood. Another exclusive feature is the river Wansbeck, running right through the town, viewable from the bridge, which was built in the 1830s. Historically, Morpeth was an infamous trade and market town, and the locals have kept this tradition with the farmers market taking place on the first Saturday of every month, where you can find fresh, homegrown produce such as fruit, vegetables, and meats or treat yourself to homemade luxuries such as wine, and artisan pastries. As well as being an excellent place for shopping, Morpeth is full of nature; with a range of natural rivers, beaches, and country parks waiting to be discovered.
The town offers great places to eat and drink, make your way through the cobbled streets of Morpeth and you’ll find a variety of trendy bars, coffee shops, traditional tea rooms, and restaurants providing cuisine from all around the world, or enjoy a day out shopping, at the Sanderson Arcade, which is home to boutique stores, excellent cafes and an art gallery. The surrounding nature is brilliant for walks, with Pegswood Moor Country Park, Bluebell Wood, local beaches, and Carlisle Park, which is a wonderful public open space that is also home to the Turner Garden and many amenities such as tennis courts, children’s play areas, rowing boats, and a skate park. Furthermore, Morpeth provides the unique opportunity to experience the annual Morpeth gathering, an exciting event that attracts people from all over the county, showcasing crafts, street performances, barn dances, writing, and more.
