A whisky distillery and Anglo-Saxon museum built new on Wooler's South Road, telling the story of the royal palace excavated at Yeavering nearby. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio seating overlooking the garden, but not through the museum or the indoor restaurant. Worth an hour when the Cheviots are in cloud.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.

A single-track road runs south-west from Wooler into the Harthope burn, ending in a valley of bracken, sheep and crags with Hedgehope and the Cheviot either side. Verge parking only, no facilities, no shop and patchy phone signal: this is the remote end of Northumberland and should be treated as such. The national park asks for dogs on leads here, with lambs and ground-nesting curlew and lapwing on the ground.
Six and a half miles and 560 metres of climbing in four hours, over the granite tors of Housey Crags and up the long grass ridge to the 714-metre summit of Hedgehope Hill, the second of the Cheviots, returning down the Harthope Burn. Start from the informal roadside pull-ins in the Harthope valley below Langleeford; there is no car park, no toilet and no phone signal, and the lane from Wooler is single track for four miles. Genuinely remote walking where the nearest help is a long way off: the burn gives water low down and nothing does above, the tors have short scrambly steps a big dog will need helping over, and sheep and ground-nesting birds mean leads on open ground from March to July.
A holiday park on the Wooler Water with lodges and caravans, and its own dog-friendly bar and restaurant on site, which spares you the walk into town in bad weather. Marketed squarely at dog owners. Handy for Humbleton Hill and the Harthope road into the hills.
Nobody has written one for Ad Gefrin. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
