Often called the ‘capital’ of the North Tyne, Bellingham sits on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, about eighteen miles north of Hexham. It is a working village built largely of local gritstone, centered around a small marketplace and the medieval St Cuthbert’s Church - famous for its unusual stone-vaulted roof, designed to be fireproof during the centuries of Border Reiver raids. Geographically, the village serves as a vital hub for the surrounding moorland and Steiner valley; it has a high school, a surgery, and a decent range of shops that mean you don’t always have to rely on the drive into Hexham. The Pennine Way passes right through the middle, and the walk up to the Hareshaw Linn waterfall provides a quick escape into the woodland from the main street. It’s a place that feels remote enough to be peaceful, yet it retains a functional, community-led infrastructure that many smaller upland settlements have lost.
