Whitley Castle or Epiacum

Roman fort near Alston called Epiacum from 122 to 450. In the intervening years it became Whitley Castle. Figured we should see it.

Getting lost on the way to Alston from Epiacum. At least it was pretty.

Another Celtic High Cross on the South Tyne River.

Our hotel room in Haltwhistle was once the stables of the great house. 

Skinny dog leg stairs to the bed loft.

Street view in Haltwhistle.
