Haydon is a largely rural electoral ward in Northumberland, England, centred on the attractive riverside village of Haydon Bridge and the valley of the South Tyne. The landscape is scenic and popular with walkers and anglers, sitting close to the line of Hadrian's Wall and the edges of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are plenty of historic sites and dramatic vistas for visitors and residents alike.
Locally the economy mixes farming and small businesses with a steady contribution from tourism, while many people travel to nearby market towns such as Hexham for work and services. The ward has a strong village community feel, with local events, clubs and historic landmarks like Langley Castle helping to sustain a lively social and cultural life despite its rural setting.
