Excellent days out and things to do are all within an easy drive from Chatton Lakes.
On the coast there are numerous villages and beaches to explore with some excellent bars and restaurants. Walkers, cyclists, and golfers have plenty to keep them occupied too.
Chatton is a picturesque village with a local village store stocking local produce, take away food & drink and all your everyday essentials. The Percy Arms is your local pub offering some home-made Northumbrian favourites with outside seating available throughout the year. Both the shop and the pub are a 5 minutes walk from Chatton Lakes.
A little more than a five minute drive away is the friendly historic market town of Wooler (known locally as Glendale; the inspiration for ‘Postman Pat’s, Greendale’). Wooler is an ideal base for walking, cycling and exploring the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland National Park. Whilst in Wooler you should also visit Ad Gefrin, a recently opened Anglo-Saxon Museum and Whisky & Gin Distillery.
