Loughbrow House stands 600ft above the River Tyne, looking over the market town of Hexham to the North Tyne Valley, and yet only a mile from the centre of town. The house is in the heart of the Northumberland National Park, with ancient Hexham at the bottom of the hill, and adjacent to Hadrian's Wall.

Loughbrow is within easy distance of the Lake District, Scotland, Durham, Alnwick and the many National Trust properties that abound throughout Northumbria, which has a wonderfully rich heritage. Hexham is mid-way between Carlisle and the east coast at Tynemouth, with the beautiful Northumberland Coastline; Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, just a short drive away.

Northumberland has a lot to offer in terms of outdoor activities and events. For the seriously energetic the newly opened Hadrian's Wall Trail is close by, with the delights of Keilder Water only a short distance too. There are three local golf courses, with many other sports and recreational activities on offer too.

Hexham is situated close by the A69, and is easily accessible via local rail and road networks from all directions. The local railway station lies on the main Carlisle/Newcastle route.
