Netherby Hall

If settlements could talk, Netherby Hall would have a fascinating story to tell – records show it has been occupied for at least 2,000 years.

By AD80 the Romans were probably using the site as a base but it was not uncommon for the forces of the greatest empire in the world at the time, to take over places long used by local people.

With its pleasant site above the River Esk and flat lands that could have been cleared of trees for agriculture, it’s quite possible, perhaps even probable, that Netherby Hall sits on ground that had been settled hundreds of years before Julius Caeser cast his eyes on our “tin islands”.
