Pegswood is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, England, lying just a few miles south of Morpeth and surrounded by the gentle rolling farmland typical of the region. The settlement grew up around its coal mine, and the village's layout, buildings and a few memorials still reflect that industrial past; today the landscape combines reclaimed green spaces with pockets of semi-rural woodland.
These days Pegswood functions largely as a residential community with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities, while retaining a strong local identity through its school, village hall and sports clubs. There’s a sense of continuity between the industrial heritage and a quieter, community-focused present, with walking routes into the surrounding countryside and small local businesses providing the village’s day-to-day life.
