Cornhill-on-Tweed is a small rural parish in northern Northumberland, sitting close to the banks of the River Tweed and the border with Scotland. The area is characterised by rolling agricultural land and river valley scenery, with views that link it to the wider Borders landscape and nearby market towns such as Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Locally the economy and social life still revolve around farming and river-based activities – salmon fishing on the Tweed has long been part of the local identity – while the built environment reflects centuries of border history in modest churches, farmsteads and vernacular cottages. It’s a quiet community with strong cross-border connections and a low-key cultural life centred on village halls and seasonal events rather than large tourist infrastructure.
