Getting here
The Threshing Barn at Green Croft on the Wall sits between the villages of Gilsland and Greenhead, on the Northumberland–Cumbria border in the Tyne Valley.
The buildings lie directly on the line of Hadrian’s Wall, in a beautifully rural and historic setting. Our nearest town is Haltwhistle, just 4 miles away.
We are approximately 19 miles east of Carlisle, 20 miles west of Hexham, and 41 miles west of Newcastle, making us easily accessible while feeling wonderfully off the beaten track.
