Felton is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, England, sitting on the banks of the River Coquet and tucked between Alnwick and Morpeth. Its position close to the modern A1 (following the historic Great North Road) gives it easy links to the wider region while keeping a distinctly rural character, with stone cottages, a village green and attractive riverside walks that appeal to locals and visitors alike.
Historically centred on agriculture and services for travellers, Felton still retains a mix of farming, small businesses and commuter households bound for Newcastle and beyond. The village has an active community life - pubs, a village hall and local clubs - and a number of older buildings and lanes that reflect its long local history without being overwhelmingly touristy.
