Bolam Lake Country Park lies about nine miles west of Morpeth and is signposted off the A696 from Belsay.
The cafe sells a range of hot and cold refreshments, including soup, sandwiches, and local homemade cakes and scones. The visitor centre also sells a wide variety of books, maps, and handmade local gifts.
