Whittingham is a small, largely rural parish in Northumberland, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and areas of heather moorland typical of the county. The settlement is dispersed, with stone-built farmhouses and cottages linked by quiet lanes and public footpaths, offering a peaceful base for walkers and people after the quieter side of the Northumberland landscape, with the coast and other scenic areas within easy reach.
Traditionally agricultural, the parish still relies on farming alongside a handful of small local businesses, while social life tends to centre on the parish church, village hall and occasional community events. Older buildings and field patterns hint at medieval and post‑medieval roots, and residents and visitors alike appreciate the wildlife, clear skies and sense of continuity that characterise this part of rural Northumberland.
