Hadrian's Cycleway to Wylam Village

Highlight • River

In the forecourt stands the Great War Memorial, unveiled in 1923 to commemorate local residents who died in the First World War. The memorial, an ornamental Latin cross of Windy Nook stone on an octagonal plinth with bronze plaques, stands on War Memorial Green near Wylam Bridge. It was later supplemented for the Second World War and has been a Grade II listed building since 2017 for its historical and architectural value.

Vicar's Pele Tower

Highlight • Monument

Vicar's Pele is a three storey stone pele tower, which was built in the 14th or 15th century. It possibly stands on the site of a 13th century hall house and its south wing may have been rebuilt as the tower. Later it was part of a vicarage, which was demolished in the late 19th century, leaving a small dwelling house still attached. The house was removed in 1950 and the tower consolidated with concrete in 1971, excavations in 2001 uncovered a stone flagged floor inside the tower. There are blocked doors on the west and north sides and three large openings on the south face. This gaunt shell shows signs of a gabled roof on the west wall and the evidence of numerous later alterations and repairs. Nearby in Ponteland is the Blackbird Inn and 7 miles north-west is Belsay Castle.
