Just 2 miles from Wall & Lakes cottage you will find the magnificent Lanercost Priory and spectacular walk to Historical Birdoswald Roman Wall Fort. Your gateway to Hadrian's Wall and amazingly beautiful rolling countryside starts here. During your visit to Lanercost Priory remember to visit the tearoom as well for a special treat.
Beautiful priory with William Morris tapestry. The nearby castle Naworth Castle is beautiful. There is a lovely walk along the river and this is near to Hadrian's Wall. Nearby Walton village is a lovely stop as well with a nice cafe.
Managed by English Heritage, Lanercost Priory was founded by Robert de Vaux between 1165 and 1174, to house Augustinian canons. It lies close by to Naworth Castle, with which it had close connections.

In 1311 it was raided by Robert the Bruce. In 1306-7 King Edward the 1st stayed at Lanercost Priory on their way North. It was destroyed in 1538 by Henry VIII at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries and is now in ruins. Today though, the ruins of Lanercost Priory make a beautiful and interesting half day outing. In addition, there is a very pleasant tea room, Lanercost tea rooms, just adjacent to the Priory which serves drinks, cakes and light lunches. It is also quite close to Birdoswald Roman Fort, also managed by English Heritage.

The site of Augustinian priory was carefully chosen in the 12th century at a crossing point of the river Birthing. It has survived centuries of Border warfare and today serves as both a parish church and a music venue
