Haltwhistle is a small market town in Northumberland, England, often billed as the "centre of Great Britain" and serving as a handy gateway to Hadrian's Wall and the Northumberland National Park. The South Tyne runs through the town and its railway station on the Tyne Valley Line links the area to Newcastle and Carlisle, making it a useful base for walkers and visitors to the region.
The town retains a strong historic character - Roman remains nearby, a medieval market-town pedigree and the legacy of border reivers - and today its economy blends agriculture, small businesses and tourism. Many people pass through Haltwhistle to tackle Hadrian's Wall or long-distance routes such as the Pennine Way, while a modest local arts and community scene and independent shops give the town a friendly, community-minded feel.
