The Boatside Inn in Warden, near Hexham, is a historic country inn with a rich history dating back to 1782. Originally a trading station and stopping point for river crossings on the Tyne, it grew into a popular alehouse for travelers and locals alike.

Lots of spring flowers to enjoy here. Wild garlic, bluebells, forget me nots and dandelions to name a few.
