Its riverside meadows, pasture and scattered country houses give it a quiet rural feel while still being within commuting distance of Newcastle via the Tyne Valley line.
Bywell is particularly noted for its two medieval churches, St Peter's Church and St Andrew's Church, which display fine Norman and later stonework and memorials; the parish also includes the Georgian Bywell Hall and an old stone bridge over the Tyne.
