About Spartylea

Spartylea, a quiet hamlet in Northumberland, breathes the open sky of the North Pennines. It lies 13.2 km east of Alston (from Alston: bearing 79°T, OS grid NY 847 488), and is situated north of Dirt Pot village. The land around Spartylea is a tapestry of rolling fells, where the wind whispers secrets through the heather and the light can shift from a pearly grey to a startling, brilliant gold in the space of an afternoon. Here, the ancient stones of field boundaries speak of generations of farmers who worked this tough but beautiful soil, their lives as much a part of the landscape as the sheep that graze the hillsides. The air itself feels clean and sharp, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant peat fires, a fragrance that clings to the senses long after one has left. Spartylea is a place where time seems to move at a different pace, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the enduring presence of the wild Northumbrian countryside.
