Fontburn

Fontburn

Fontburn is situated just a few miles west of the Northumberland market town of Morpeth, close to the village of Scots Gap.

Fontburn basically consists of a woodland surrounded reservoir that was created 100 years ago. the reservoir is regularly stocked with trout and is a favoured place with fresh water fisherman who pay for the privilege.

Close to the reservoir there are ancient bronze age sites which are easily reached on foot. The area is also popular with hill walkers.
