YHA The Sill at Hadrian's Wall is the brand new youth hostel at The Sill landscape discovery centre, in partnership with the Northumberland National Park Authority. Ideally located in the beautiful countryside of the National Park, this high-spec hostel is perfect for exploring the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage site, located just a few hundred metres away.
You’ll also be close to both Sycamore Gap and the Roman fort at Vindolanda and, of course, the adjoining Discovery Centre with its innovative learning spaces and spectacular viewing platforms.
Dorm rooms have multiple beds, are typically more affordable than private rooms, and shared with other people who may not be travelling together. A typical shared room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest, secured by a padlock if required.
Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.
Some dorms may be en-suites, meaning that they have a bathroom in the room that you would be sharing with the other people in your dorm.
Don't fancy sharing a room? Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard for each bed, secured by a padlock if required, a reading light and a wash hand basin. Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room.
Enjoy your own space with a private en-suite room. Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard for each bed, secured by a padlock if required, a reading light and a wash hand basin.
