Bellingham is a small market village in rural Northumberland, England, sitting in the valley of the River North Tyne on the A68. It acts as a local service centre for surrounding farms and estates and is valued for its attractive riverside setting, easy access to moorland and forest, and its mix of older stone buildings and everyday amenities.
The village has deep roots in the border country and the Reiver era, and today its economy leans on agriculture, forestry and tourism. Outdoor pursuits - walking, fishing and cycling - are big draws thanks to nearby Kielder and the Northumberland National Park, while a close‑knit community sustains shops, pubs, a primary school and regular local events.
