About Forestburn Gate

Forestburn Gate, a quietude of stone and sky, holds its place with a steadfast, unpretentious dignity. It lies 5.5 km south of Rothbury (from Rothbury: bearing 171°T, OS grid NZ 066 962). The air here, when the wind is right, carries the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and bracken, a subtle perfume that speaks of the surrounding moorland. Its houses, built from the local stone, seem to have grown from the very ground they occupy, their roofs a muted grey against the vast Northumberland sky. A small stream, the Forest Burn itself, threads its way through the settlement, its murmur a constant, gentle companion to the lives lived here. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, can cast long, painterly shadows across the rough-hewn walls, giving Forestburn Gate a timeless quality, as if it has always been thus.
