Belford is a small village in Northumberland, England, set on the inland approach to the county’s dramatic coastline between Bamburgh and Alnwick. It sits within easy reach of the A1 and popular coastal attractions such as Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and the Farne Islands, making it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the Northumberland coast.
Historically the village developed as a local agricultural and coaching centre and today its economy mixes farming with tourism and local services; you’ll find traditional stone buildings, a parish community with a village hall and pubs, and plenty of walkers and birdwatchers drawn by nearby coastal and countryside routes and the area’s heritage.
