By Road from the East (See below if you have a high vehicle!)
Travelling along the A69 from the East (Newcastle) take the right turn to Greenhead where the A69 becomes dual carriageway 2 miles West of Haltwhistle. At Greenhead turn left then immediately right following the B6318 to and through Gilsland. At the junction where the Bridge Inn is on your left, turn right, cross the bridge over the river.
