Ellingham is a small, largely rural parish in north‑east Northumberland, England. It sits amid rolling arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, with a dispersed pattern of stone farmhouses and cottages rather than a large built-up centre, reflecting a long history of mixed farming and estate management.
Historically agricultural, Ellingham retains a handful of older buildings and a parish church that hint at medieval origins, while today the local economy combines farming with small‑scale tourism and commuters to nearby market towns. The community is typical of the county’s quieter parishes, with village events and conservation interests and easy access to the wider landscapes of the Northumberland coast and Northumberland National Park.
