Nent Hall was built as a private house by the owners of a mine, who had the good fortune, in 1814, to strike silver as well as a rich vein of lead in their mine, which had previously been abandoned as worthless. It is situated 2 miles east of Alston in the North Penines area of outstanding beauty where the air is pure and clear, and at night the stars are brilliant. Wild life abounds - badgers, foxes, hares and occasionally deer and red squirrels can be seen. There are swifts, fields full of lapwings, pheasants, grouse and birds of prey, some of them rare. From April, when the marsh marigolds come into flower, until late summer, wild flowers are everywhere, including wild pansies and the rare Grass of Parnassus. For a truly relaxing holiday linger in the elegant dining room, take your ease in our sitting rooms (one of them non-smoking), or wander across the lawns and sit under the trees. You can stroll along the banks of the little River Nent, saunter round the ancient cobbled lanes of nearby Alston, or walk up to several vantage points, where the whole valley is spread out below you. Please indicate in the comments box if you would like to book dinner. Thankyou
