by It would be difficult to find a northern village without a pub. Often former Inns coaching Inns or Drovers’ Inns, keep the same feeling of greeting and refreshment for all -rounders (nowadays, including dogs, cyclists and hikers), but with more comfort. The food may be more sophisticated and the decor is more intelligent, but the best still have original features such as exposed stone walls and roasted fires. The beers with many pubs that are covered within the borders of the district are of course central. Evocative Brewery names that you should look for belong to Hexhamshire, Cheviot, Rigg & Furrow and First & Last. Northumbrian Gins, Wodkas and even whiskey and rum also proudly keep the spirits locally.

Best for beer lovers
The ship
This white whitewashed pub with a room in the corner of the village grass in a tiny low Newton-by-the-Sea could be “best for the view”: The Village Green, which serves as an unofficial beer garden, opens up to the beach. Beers and names such as “Sandcastles at Dawn” and “Sea Dog” are brewed alongside four and five at the bar next door. With scrubbed wooden floors and tables, the bar regularly has folk nights and cake nights.

Gasthaus brewed twice
This five-minute march by Hadrian’s wall by Hadrian’s wall is large and unpretentious with a large L-shaped bar. Thanks to its spacious beer garden, it is popular with families during the day. The six handmade ales, which were made in the brewery from the next door, are constantly being seen from the always popular Sycamore Gap Pale Ale. Others can include steel rigg (one porter), Ale Caesar (an amber beer) or the crack of 7.5 percent wheat beer, all my friends are dead. Try the adjacent line space for a “trial plank” of three different beers.

Best for views
The Duke of Wellington Inn
In the tiny village of Newton, this inn can easily overlook, unless they are a local or have heard of its pretty good food. You want to be in warm weather in the paved terrace with a horizont -tidy prospects for Tyne Valley. When it is cold, you are best in the dog and Muddy Walker-friendly bar. The bar usually offers three barrels and a good selection of gins, including several in Northumberland, as well as a good selection of individual malt whiskeys.

Best traditional pubs
Holly Bush Inn
In the national park, where streets are narrower and sheep becomes more numerous, this sweet, looking pub, a former inn from the 18th century, which is now equipped with hanging baskets and window boxes, is a friendly reception and a real fire -warm bar (food is served in the separate eating rooms). The five regular barrel-Ales come from a radius of 35 miles grainger Ale, from the Hadrian Border Brewery, always “out of the door”-with a walking host beer.

The Olde Ship Inn
It takes a while for first-timer to adjust to this small L-shaped rod with wooden pistons, red banquets and copper tables. And each piece of wall and ceiling is hung with nautical utensils from lobster pots, model ships and brass clocks to knotted ropes, lifestyle and naval caps. The polished bar with its shiny brass rail offers up to 10 handmade ales-a mixture of local, Newcastle, Yorkshire and sometimes Edinburgh Brews. It’s tight but in a good mood and there is a back terrace with a view of the port of Seehouses.

Best all -rounder
The angel of Corbridge
In the middle of the pretty corbridge with its chi chi shops and rarules, as it is lovingly known, the angel is a popular meeting place for locals, be it for a morning coffee, lunch or an evening drink. Take either a chair in the large bar with your white -washed plaster walls and the scrubbing of tables or in a comfortable leather sofa in the fire -warmed, wood -related lounge. For a sunny sunowner, the paved terrace south is a perfect place for human observations. Four barrel-Ales include a tailor-made brew, the proportion of the angel.

The carpenters
After a romp on the beach with a low Newton-by-the-Sea, drive up the hill for 10 minutes to this cute, looking Bohemian-decorated pub with its exposed stone walls, leather ban quetting, red bike chair, oversized flower lamp umbrellas and fake pot plania. The bar holds about five beers in the northeast and a guest beer brewed, but they can easily be tempted by a cocktail like an older older flowers Tom Collins or an old -fashioned Apple fog, especially if it is sunny enough for the terrace.
