Breathing Life Back into a Historical Gem
Lovelady Shield has a long and rich history, standing on the road between Alston and Nenthead. When the property closed in 2019, Na'ím stepped in with a mission to restore this heritage site. With a substantial investment, the Georgian property was brought back to life, preserving its historical charm while enhancing modern facilities for guests.
