The Northumberland countryside is laid out in front of me as the sun is beginning to set.
What I'm seeing could be a view from Hadrian's Wall, but I'm actually looking out from what has been described as one of the most exciting new restaurants in the UK by food critic Marina O'Loughlin.
I'm at Restaurant Pine, a new fine-dining restaurant at Vallum Farm in Wallhouses, which aims to showcase the best of Northumberland and North East produce with its afternoon teas and 16-course tasting menu.
