About a 40 minute drive north of Newcastle, you will find Pondihengery Glampsite.

​

Located opposite Pondicherry Farm, Pondicherry, Rothbury, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE65 7YS.

​

Below directions are easier as SATNAV may take you on a narrow, bumpy way via Thropton Road.

​

Detailed Directions:

 

As you drive through and out of Rothbury heading West towards Thropton village, take the first right at the last building in Rothbury (opposite 'Rothbury House').

 

This is a long steep hill, and at the top bear left, passing the 'dead end sign' and carry on along Hillside West towards Pondicherry.

 

As the road narrows, turn left (a post box on left corner, and sign opposite for 'Westhome').

 

Continue along the driveway for approximately 100 yards and Pondihengery Glampsite is on your right.

​

Please park next to your booked unit.

Attractions in our area of Rothbury:

​

Northumberland is a beautiful, vast and largely undiscovered county.  There are so many places of interest to go and visit including Castles, beaches, walks, historical buildings, and all within an hour drive of Pondihengery.

​​

The quaint village of Rothbury has plenty to keep you entertained, and includes a walkway alongside the river Coquet.

Closeby is the beautiful Cragside House and Gardens which is a must-see, as well as Brinkburn Priory,  and the vast and remote Northumberland National Park, all which are only a few miles away.

 

A great place to get some spectacular views of the Coquet valley is just a short drive to the carpark below Simonside Hills, and a moderately challenging route to the top, a popular area for hiking, running, and walking.

Also just out of Rothbury, the dark-sky site Lordenshaw Hill Fort Car Park, a recognised 'Go Stargazing Site'.
