Extract from the Bellingham Travel Guides:
The stone terraces of
BELLINGHAM
(pronounced Bellinjum) slope up from the banks of the Tyne on the eastern edge of the Northumberland National Park. It's a restful spot set in splendid rural surroundings, and it contains the medieval
Church of St Cuthbert
, which has an unusual stone-vaulted roof - designed (successfully) to prevent raiding Border reivers from burning the church to the ground. The
Heritage Centre
just east of the village centre on Woodburn Road (May-Sept Mon & Fri-Sun 10.30am-4.30pm; 1) has more on this turbulent period.
Buses
