Situated on the River North Tyne, ‘Bellinjum’ makes a welcome rest spot with a couple of pubs. This grey stone village is tight formed to protect it from Reivers, and the 13th century church of St. Cuthbert’s has a slab stone roof because the inhabitants got tired of the Scots burning it all the time. There are several B&Bs, farm camping and the Youth Hostel. The Heritage Centre at Bellingham is the museum for the North Tyne and Redewater area of Northumberland, England. The Centre also houses the Bellingham Tourist Information Centre.
