The civil parish of Ord sits just outside Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, on the low-lying agricultural plain by the estuary of the River Tweed. The landscape is largely arable and pastoral, with a scattering of farmsteads and the small settlement of East Ord, and its borderland location means the area still carries echoes of the frontier history and reiver culture that shaped this part of Britain.
Nowadays the parish is a quiet, close-knit rural community where agriculture remains important and many people commute to nearby towns; its proximity to the coast, historic Berwick and other local heritage sites also brings some tourism interest, while countryside and birdlife conservation are increasingly valued.
