Did you know that the Pennine Way currently goes right past the chapel? Due to a bridge that needs repairing on the original route towards Alston, there is a diversion on the other side of the South Tyne which means you have to come past. So you might as well book a stay and rest those weary legs.
Today, I waited for the leader of the Montane Spine Race to come past and jogged with him a little way whilst discussing food. I later found out that he is Type 1 Diabetic so all the more urgency for him, no wonder he was so obsessed after running for over 150 miles and 45 hours, he was very much in need but to be honest, looked fresh as a daisy!
Here are some shots of Chris the leader at that point (as anything can happen) and how beautiful the chapel looks with the flowers in bloom
Book a stay and we’ll treat you and your feet to some TLC!
