Good to Know

The Running Fox in Felton is where it all started: the very first Running Fox, opened in 2011 in the village just off the A1.

Why it's on our list: Felton sits on the River Coquet with lovely country walks all around, which makes this a natural spot for breakfast before a walk, or coffee and cake after one. Expect the same homemade breakfasts, pies and afternoon teas we've enjoyed at Powburn and Kirkharle.

Worth knowing: dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, and tables can be booked online.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
