About Whitton

Whitton offers a quiet contemplation of Northumberland's wilder heart. It lies 0.7 km south-south-west of Rothbury (from Rothbury: bearing 195°T, OS grid NU 056 010). The hamlet itself is a scattering of stone cottages, their roofs often softened by a dusting of lichen, breathing the same air as the ancient Cheviot Hills that loom on the horizon. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can take on a honeyed quality, illuminating the rough-hewn walls and casting long, thoughtful shadows across the surrounding fields. A palpable sense of stillness pervades Whitton, broken only by the bleating of sheep or the distant call of a curlew.
