Snokoe Hill is a prominent geographical feature located in the county of Northumberland, in the northeast of England. Rising to an elevation of approximately 250 meters (820 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain. The hill is situated near the village of Snokoe, from which it derives its name.

Snokoe Hill is characterized by its distinctive shape and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The summit offers expansive vistas of rolling green fields, dense woodlands, and picturesque valleys. On clear days, it is even possible to catch glimpses of the North Sea shimmering in the distance.

The hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers who are drawn to its tranquil and unspoiled surroundings. Several footpaths and trails traverse the landscape, providing visitors with opportunities to explore and appreciate the area's natural beauty. The pathways range in difficulty, catering to both casual strollers and more experienced walkers.

The hill is also home to a diverse array of flora and fauna. The slopes are blanketed with heather, gorse, and wildflowers, which add vibrant splashes of color to the landscape. Birdwatchers may be lucky enough to spot species such as red grouse, skylarks, and kestrels soaring through the skies.

Overall, Snokoe Hill offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing visitors with a chance to connect with nature and enjoy breathtaking views of the Northumberland countryside.

Dilston Hall The present-day Dilston Hall is a comparatively modern building in the grounds of Dilston Castle. The original Jacobean Hall was demolished in the 18th Century. Dilston Hall is the home of the residential Mencap College of Further Education. Lord (Brian) Rix, who had a daughter with learning difficulties, was instrumental in the establishment of the College when the building was converted from its previous use of maternity home.
