Of all the special places in Northumberland National Park, Yeavering is arguably the most special of all. Here, in a dramatic landscape setting on the edge of the Cheviots, stand the remains of the largest Iron Age hillfort in the region.
Beneath this hillfort, Yeavering Bell, the Anglo-Saxon kings of Northumbria maintained a grand palace. Much earlier, Neolithic people had a temple here, and Bronze Age communities buried their dead in the shadow of Yeavering Bell.
