Dist:0.6km<br/>The farmhouse at Hawkhope has been built incorporating a 16th or 17th century bastle. The bastle measures about 12.7m by 7.6m and has exceptionally thick walls, up to 1.5m thick, built of roughly coursed stones. Another unusual feature is its height, as it has two storeys and an attic above. Some bastles were been heightened at a later date but this one appears to have been built to this height from the beginning. Inside the bastle are a few original features, such as a wall cupboard and a blocked window. The bastle was altered and enlarged in the 18th and 19th centuries. This is a Grade II Listed Building protected by law. http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N6963

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking north-east towards the Hawkhope area of Kielder Forest. Part of the hydro-electric plant is just visible on the far left. Kielder Forest is the largest forest in England, and the largest man-made forest in Europe. It is owned and managed by the Forestry Commission which began planting in the 1920s on what was then mostly moorland. Most of the trees are conifers, with three-quarters of the area covered by Sitka Spruce, favoured because it is fast-growing, hardy and produces good quality timber.
