Norham sits on the south bank of the River Tweed in Northumberland, England, just a stone’s throw from the border with Scotland. The village is dominated by the dramatic ruins of Norham Castle, a 12th‑century episcopal fortress that endured numerous medieval sieges and later became a favourite subject for painters such as J.M.W. Turner.
Today Norham is a small rural community where farming remains important and modest tourism - walkers, history enthusiasts and castle visitors - supplements the local economy; the nearby town of Berwick-upon-Tweed provides wider services. The village maintains a strong community spirit around its church, village hall and conservation of the historic riverside landscape.
