anyone recomend somewhere to live in northumberland

[bigdonna]

hi we are thinking about moving to northumberland next year would be really interested to hear from any mn who recommend a place to live

I used to live in te north-east and spent a lot of time around northumberland so know parts quite well.

I think its one of the biggest counties in the UK so it would help if you kind of knew the area that you would like to live - it stretches as far north as Berwick and as far west as Carlisle almost.

Hexham is lovely - its on the A69 so only about 20 minutes from Newcastle - its a large town so has Tesco, MacDonalds etc. Morpeth is on A1, and also has some lovely areas, and again is only 15-20 minutes from Newcastle. There are some truely beautiful villages, but most have truely beautiful prices to match - so it all depends on budget?

hi i am from wallsend,i have lived in south for 25 yrs .my parents live near morpeth,my budget is no more then 250.000,we loike cullercoats but need to be near good schools.hoping to find a middle school!!!!! my sisters lives west monkseaton so would be nice to be nearish to them thanks for that my hubby liked bedlington have u heard or know any thing about this area.

Bedlington, morpeth, cullercoats and tynemouth are all lovely.Dont really know much about schools - I left the ne when I was 19. You could have a look on the OFSTED website for school league tables?

thanks for that,i left there too at 18,but feel my kids will have a better education up there.hoping to sell our house in mitcham,surrey and get asmaller mortgage,and a healthier place to live hopefully by the beach
