The Centre of Britain and now the centre of new beginnings.

New build.
Ancient landscape.

With ancient walls and centuries-old landmarks, there are stories stitched into every inch of this place. The town has existed for over 2000 years.  The Church of the Holy Cross was built in the 13th century, with views over the river and the valley. In the 18th century, the town became a centre for weaving and the community began to grow. Explore the Tyne Valley and immerse yourself in the echoes of Roman legions that whisper through the stones of Hadrian’s Wall. Or visit The Sill to start exploring Northumberland National Park.

Meander through breathtaking landscapes along the Pennine Way and take in panoramic vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see. Featherstone Gate sits just 1 mile from the stunning Northumberland National Park. The Haltwhistle Rings walks are a great way to explore the local area. Whether you’re scaling the heights of Whin Sill or ambling along the tranquil banks of the South Tyne River, Haltwhistle provides the perfect backdrop.

Featherstone Gate offers more outdoor space than most newly built developments, thanks to the low density of houses. This means that even if you choose to stay home, you have space and privacy to enjoy the outdoors.

Outdoor activity. Indoor indulgence.

Haltwhistle is full to the brim with exceptional independent retail and hospitality. With everything you need right on your doorstep, and seamless connectivity to city life, there is really nothing that is out of reach.
