Longhirst

Longhirst lies five kilometres northeast of Morpeth in Northumberland's Wansbeck Valley. Take the A1 to Morpeth, then follow the A197 through Pegswood to reach this small village. It's a handy stop between Newcastle and the coast, with about 80 EV charging points nearby. The village centres around Longhirst Hall, an elegant Georgian mansion now used for weddings.
