Map of the UK

Lilburn is a small, sparsely populated civil parish set in the rolling farmland and moorland of northern Northumberland in England, with countryside that looks across to the Cheviot Hills. The landscape is typified by stone farmsteads, patches of upland pasture and quiet lanes, making it popular with walkers and anyone seeking a remote rural feel rather than a busy village centre.

Historically the area has long agricultural roots and associations with old local families; remnants of past settlement and field patterns can be found in the parish. Today the local economy is largely farming‑based, supplemented by small‑scale tourism and country houses such as Lilburn Tower, and the community retains the low‑key, close‑knit social character typical of Northumberland’s rural parishes.
