Widdrington Station is a small village in Northumberland, England, that grew up around its railway halt on the East Coast Main Line and sits a short distance inland from the long sandy beaches of Druridge Bay.
Historically linked to the nearby Widdrington estate and to the farming and coal‑mining economy of the wider area, it retains a rural village feel while offering road and rail connections (including the A1) that make commuting to Newcastle and other North East towns feasible; the community is quiet with local amenities and easy access to coastal walking and wildlife.
