Willowford Farm was totally awesome! If you are ever in the north of England, Liam and the gals will treat you right, and feed you better than anywhere else. And as for tourist value, the Wall runs through the place, and most of the buildings are made from parts of it. When we put together our farm B&B, all you who are in on that crazy plan, these folks make a great model - and they are our age. From there we rambled across easy, if mucky, pasture land to the imaginatively named village of Walltown and the Centurion Inn, which makes up for its lumpy beds with fabulous trout, local craft ales, and a decent selection of single malt scotches, not to mention the friendly barmaid and the lively conversation. We needed all that after our walk today. Tomorrow: a shorter walk, more ruins, and return to Ponteland. Now: deep sleep, and dreams of large farm animals.
