Bardon Mill is a collection of hamlets situated on the northern slopes of the South Tyne Valley between Haydon Bridge and Haltwhistle. Bardon Mill itself is grouped around the railway station, and the Errington Pottery nearby has adapted from its former market to produce a range of traditional salt-glazed stoneware popular for the home and garden. Henshaw and Thorngrafton are older settlements, perched higher on the hillside and include some traditional Northumbrian bastle houses, some still inhabited.
