Fallowlees


Fallowlees Farm is located on the edge of Harwood Forest, about 5 miles south-west of Rothbury in Northumberland. Remains of ridge and furrow cultivation suggest there was a medieval settlement here.[1] By the current farm are the remains of Fallowlees Bastle, a fortified farmhouse. Fallowlees Farm is owned by the National Trust.
