Approximately ten miles to the northwest of Rothbury, at the point where the River Alwin joins the River Coquet lies the charming village of Alwinton. Alwinton is the last village in Upper Coquetdale and is surrounded by rolling hills. It is a great starting point for walks on the Border Ridge.

The Rose and Thistle were excellent hosts after we had a mishap with a bog and were in desperate need of food well after the kitchen closed.
