Good to Know

The Running Fox at Longframlington is a bakery café on Rothbury Road, right on the A697. It was the second of the Running Fox family after Felton, opening in 2016.

Why it's on our list: it's the rustic one – exposed stone, wooden beams and a dog-friendly garden – serving the same homemade breakfasts, pies, cakes and afternoon teas we've enjoyed at Powburn and Kirkharle. A handy stop on the drive up towards Rothbury, Alnwick or the Cheviots.

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.
