Located south of the River Lyne in Northumberland, Linton is a former colliery village with a strong community spirit. Residents can enjoy easy access to natural beauty spots such as Cresswell Beach, as well as cities including Newcastle which is under an hour away by car.
The village is perfect for families, with plenty of top-rated schools in the area including Linton Primary School and Ellington Primary School.
Discover the area’s local heritage at Woodhorn Museum, which also has a selection of paintings also on display. The area’s most renowned attraction, however, is the breathtaking beauty of Northumberland’s green spaces and castles, meaning there’s always somewhere new to visit without travelling too far.
The Sanderson Arcade is just a short 15 minute drive away in Morpeth, packed with fashion shops, restaurants and weekly markets, while the Metrocentre is under 40 minutes away. The Plough Inn is the village’s closest pub, but travel a little further to Ashington and there’s a thriving scene of bars with plenty of live music and entertainment.
