Nun Hill, Belsay
Nun Hill (aka Nunhill) is a farm, located off the A696 road, about 3½ miles north-west of Ponteland and 1½ miles south-east of Belsay. Just north of the farm is an old milepost; there is also a long layby which was part of the old route of the A696. March Burn (Blyth) flows to the south of the farm. To the west of the farm are the remains of an enclosure, thought to be from the Iron Age or Roman period.[1] Nun Hill is part of Belsay Civil Parish.
