Situated in the village of
Hallbankgate, nestling at the foot of the North Pennine Fells, the
Belted Will is ideally located for exploring Hadrian's Wall and the
beautiful surrounding countryside. For those of you walking Hadrians
wall free transport is provided for guests. Just call us when you tire. The Fells are a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and many county pursuits are available here including walking and hiking, mountain biking and cycling, fishing, golfing, bird watching and pony trekking. Indeed, many beautiful walks can be enjoyed right from our doorstep. Apart from Hadrian's Wall, a wealth of other interesting sites are within easy reach from the Inn, Birdoswald Roman Fort, Lanercost Priory and Talkin Tarn Country Park. RSPB Geltsdale Wildlife Reserve is on the fells directly behind the Inn and the Lake District is only 45 minutes away. |

The Inn gets its name from Lord William Howard. Born in 1563, he resided at nearby Naworth Castle and was nicknamed 'Belted Will' by the celebrated Scottish Poet, Sir Walter Scott on account of the broad belt he wore. Scott's work, 'Lay of the Last Minstel' presents Lord William Howard as a rough Border feudal lord of an earlier day. | |
