Humshaugh is a small village in Northumberland, England, tucked into the scenic Tyne Valley close to the banks of the River North Tyne and only a few miles from the Roman frontier of Hadrian's Wall. Its setting gives it a quiet, rural feel with rolling farmland, walking routes and good views across the valley.
Locally the economy is mainly agricultural with a steady trickle of visitors who come for walking, history and the nearby Roman sites; the market town of Hexham and the village of Chollerford are the nearest centres for shops and services. Community life centres on the church and village hall, and the village retains a strong sense of local identity shaped by its borderland history and rural traditions.
