This year we are celebrating 1900 years since the building of Hadrian’s Wall, and we are lucky at Layside that we can look out upon this National treasure every day. The weather has been fair over the past few days, and we have enjoyed walking our Labrador Bart along the Wall, and meeting people from all over the world who are once again returning to Northumberland to enjoy this magnificent landscape along with it’s Roman history.

Brown Hare

Our resident Brown Hare can now be seen most days at Layside – the young leveret enjoying garden shrubs and spinach from the vegetable garden. It is believed that the hare was introduced to Britain by the Romans around 2000 years ago and it is good to see that recorded numbers of these beautiful animals are steadily increasing. It is certainly a pleasure to watch, best seen early in the morning or at dusk – or under the car where it has made a comfortable “form”.
