(It’s 6 miles from here)
- Get into the right hand lane, take the next turning right, (A
6079) signposted to Rothbury, Bellingham Acomb and Wall.
- Drive through Acomb and Wall, shortly after this you reach a crossroads
(the Military Road).
- Go straight on, eventually you come under a large railway bridge
and into the Hamlet of Chollerton.
- Take the left fork to Barrasford (before the Parish Church).
- At the top of the hill is the Old Church.
Alternately You may find that by taking the A68 off the A1, the
road is more interesting, passing through little Durham villages
and avoiding the Metro Centre at Gateshead which can be very busy
on Saturdays. The A68 is just as quick and joins the A69 near Corbridge
– turn left at the roundabout on the A69 and follow directions
from *(above) |
