Nestling in a cobbled street only a stone's throw from Hexham's ancient Abbey, Cogito Books is a place in which people like to linger; classical music plays quietly as customers browse the tables and shelves. There are no piles of best-sellers and no book is recommended unless a member of the family has read and enjoyed it.
Passion for books and excellent service make Cogito an integral part of this market town: friends and families meet up here, tickets for local concerts are sold here, even the most reluctant reader is helped to find the right book by staff who know their stock. This is independent bookselling at its best.
Brunton Turret (Hadrian's Wall) Website Chollerford One of the best preserved turrets on the line of Hadrian's Wall, with a stretch of wall 70 yards long, Brunton Turret was built by men of the Twentieth Legion.
