The Haltwhistle First School website is proving very popular amongst children and parents offering a chance to see exactly what the school has to offer, future events and a means of communication between the school and parents. This is a school which has been very prominent in the Haltwhistle community for many years and is obviously very important to children and parents alike.

The Internet has also proven to be a very useful means of showcasing the work of children from Haltwhistle schools which not only gives confidence to the children but also allows parents to see exactly what is going on. The Parent Teachers Association is also very prominent on the website and also plays a very important role in the development of the School, children and links with parents.

Haltwhistle Film Project

The Haltwhistle Film Project is based in the Haltwhistle main street and brings together filmmakers, artists and organisations in the film industry from the Northeast and the Northwest of England. The project offers training in film services and animation and is proving to be something of a godsend for many people looking to prosper in this particular sector.

The Haltwhistle Film Project has already been involved in commissioning a number of films across a wide range of subjects using the online medium to gain maximum exposure. There are many more different animations and films planned for the future and the project is going from strength to strength. The ability to pull together some of the best brains in the North of England and give them a platform on which to deliver their expertise and inspirations is proving priceless.

Haltwhistle buses

The Tourist — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:16:58 +0000

Haltwhistle has a very comprehensive bus service run by the Arriva company taking in the full length and breadth of the A69 road. Haltwhistle buses run between Carlisle and Newcastle taking in such places as Brampton, Hexham and Corbridge to name but a few. The main Newcastle to Carlisle route is covered by the 685 service, Newcastle to Hexham by the 85 and X85 and the Brampton to Hexham service is the 185 bus.

There are a number of variations along the way taking in smaller villages between Carlisle and Newcastle which offer the chance to see some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Roman wall country is attracting more and more people, from not only the UK but from around the world, and tourist numbers have been increasing for many years. Even though places such as Haltwhistle may be out in the far-flung countryside of the UK it is well served by trains, buses and main roads.

VisitNorthumberland.com promotes North of England tourism

The Tourist — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:59:58 +0000

The VisitNorthumberland.com website is a one-stop website for those interested in visiting and touring the Northumberland region. It offers specific sections for regions of Northumberland, towns and villages, major attractions, activities and an array of events available in the region. This particular website is part of the official Northumberland tourist board and has access to most of the information you would require when visiting the region.

Our Haltwhistle.org.uk website fits in perfectly with the visitnorthumberland.com site and we have managed to gain a reciprocal link which we believe will be very useful in the future. While the visitnorthumberland.com website covers the whole region of Northumberland, we will be focusing our content and our efforts on the Haltwhistle region although we will be taking in the tourism attractions in the area and Hadrian’s Wall, which stretches from the north-east coast to the north-west coast.

This is just the first of a number of tie-ups we expect with regional tourist boards in the UK which will promote Haltwhistle businesses, Haltwhistle tourism and the area as a whole. We hope to announce a number of new cross marketing agreements in the short, medium and longer term as we look to increase the exposure of the website and local facilities.
