Headswood on the Wall sits in rural Cumbria, with its lodges and cottage positioned directly on Hadrian's Wall itself, between miles 56 and 57 of the famous Roman monument. The luxury micro-lodges and mini lodges are fully kitted out with en-suite shower rooms, kitchenettes, free WiFi and Freeview TV, while the separate period cottage offers a wood burner for cosy evenings. Outside, private decked seating areas and picnic tables make the most of the countryside views, and the Hadrian's Wall footpath runs right from the property. You're a short drive from the market town of Brampton and within easy reach of Carlisle, about 12 miles away, with the Solway Aviation Museum, Scaleby Hill Vintage Motor Bike Museum and Walby Farm Park all nearby for days out.
