Create
Be Inspired by your surroundings

Create
Let yourself be inspired by the beauty of the North Pennines and bring the outside inside and incorporate the sights, the sounds, the light of the hills and all your senses into your creations.
Creativity has been proven to help manage emotions, build confidence and improve problem-solving.
Learn a new skill
Develop an existing skill
Or spend some time creating something new.
Learn to stitch, embroider, wet or needle felt, crochet or make silver clay jewellery. Make a candle or weave on a lap loom or spin a variety of wool.
Recreate the landscapes around you in multi media, make a woolly hat to keep out the northern weather, or create a pendant to remind you of your stay.
Combine this with a bit (more) R&R - have Afternoon Tea on the terrace or hot chocolate and marshmallows around the fire pit.
However you express yourself, we hope you'll leave Hill Top energised and relaxed.
