Map of the UK

Bowsden is a small, rural civil parish in north Northumberland, close to the Scottish border and the North Sea coast. The parish is characterised by low, agricultural countryside with rolling arable fields, stone-built farms and quiet country lanes; many residents look to nearby market towns such as Berwick-upon-Tweed for shops and services.

Historically it sits in the old borderlands and the landscape and built fabric reflect that long rural history, from traditional farmsteads to lanes that once saw movement of livestock and people. Today the local economy centres on farming and small-scale rural enterprise, while a small, dispersed community maintains village networks, local events and an interest in the area's heritage.
