Location Allanton lies in the Berwickshire countryside and is largely set within a Conservation Area, having once been the estate village to Blackadder House. Most of the buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries and enjoy a distinctive, characteristic style of architecture. The remains of Blackadder House can be reached by footpath near to the property. Riverside walks can be found where the Blackadder and Whiteadder Waters meet below the village, which also has the benefit of a pub/restaurant, a community hall and a children’s playground. Allanton is well placed for access to local towns and to the A1 trunk road, some ten miles away at Berwick Upon Tweed, providing easy access to both Edinburgh and Newcastle, by road and rail. The market town of Duns lies just six miles to the east.
