Dist:0.4km<br/>The Border Counties Railway http://www.northumbrian-railways.co.uk/index.php?page=border-counties from Hexham to Riccarton Junction in Roxburgh opened in 1862, primarily to facilitate the transport of minerals from the North Tyne valley. It was never a great success, and finally closed completely in 1963. Two of the old railway bridges can be seen at Chollerton - this one over the road to Bingfield, and another which straddles the A6079 a short way to the north.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The annual Tyne Tour canoeing event always takes place over the weekend of the first Friday in November, which doesn't guarantee good weather, but is almost always a great way to see the autumn colours in the trees by the riverside. The Sunday of the 2010 event started out with glorious sunshine, even if the river level was a little low, and views upstream got the sun on the autumn leaves. This beech tree particularly caught my eye, overhanging a slower reach as a group of paddlers drifted past.

Dist:0.5km<br/>To the left of the gateway to St Giles Church and part of the churchyard wall, as the building itself is within the churchyard. This is the Hearse House no longer used as such! and it is said, the vicar stabled his horse here.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Pevsner says "Nave and aisles under one roof; lower chancel. This is all externally of the mid-18th century ... but the great surprise is the interior ... of c. 1150."
