Blanchland is beautiful but does get visitors so somewhere near there ? Slaley ?

Chollerford also pretty.

Forgot to say, a 15 minute drive to metro stations or a train/bus station in Cramlington.

Not Cambodia! Damn auto correct. Cambois

Cambodia has gorgeous walks, is very quiet (quite poor, but prices there are astoundingly low). The beaches even in mid summer are empty.

I'm very tempted to move there myself. I love it!

You might find that somewhere on or near the coast is a good idea - long sandy beaches for your dog to run on. Of course, the beaches attract holidaymakers, but they're seldom crowded.

Many of the inland villages are quieter - take a look on Google Earth for ones that are adjacent to open country like the Cheviots. Wooler might be a good choice.

However, I live just across the border in County Durham, so I'm not as expert as someone resident in Northumberland!
