Coming From The South
For Outchester Cottages and The Ducket
On the A.1 road about 12 miles north of Alnwick you will pass a large fuel service station on your right. Keep going for another two miles, then turn right on to the B1342 signposted 'Bamburgh'. This is just before Coastal Grains silos, large silver corn bins that you can't miss in daylight. After one mile you come to a railway crossing, then it's another mile to the cottages on the left.
For The Ducket
Collect the key at the cottages as above, then continue for a short distance on the B1342 to a T junction, where you will turn right (blind corner!), then drive a further ¼ mile to The Ducket.
For Ross Cottages
As above, but stay on the A1 for ¾ mile north past the B1342 turning. Turn right at the sign 'Budle' and 'Waren Mill'. After ¼ mile, you come to a railway crossing, then ¼ mile further on turn left at the T junction. Drive for one mile to another T junction, then turn right. Ross is one mile further.
