The settlement pattern in the remainder of the district is one of scattered villages, hamlets and farmsteads. There are no extensive uncultivated or forested areas in the District. Castle Morpeth is the Gateway to Northumberland, with the ancient market town of Morpeth at its centre. Also the county town, Morpeth boasts the award-winning William Turner Garden, made famous in last year's Chelsea Flower Show.
