Bedlington Town

Bedlington is a former mining town situated along the River Blyth in southeast Northumberland. The area retains a strong industrial heritage visible in its Victorian architecture and layout. It functions primarily as a residential community with local shopping facilities along Front Street. The town provides essential services and green spaces like the Bedlington Country Park, which offers walking paths and recreational areas on reclaimed land.

The area is characterised by its close-knit neighbourhoods and connections to surrounding towns like Morpeth and Ashington. A notable local tradition is the annual Bedlington Horse Fair, a historic event dating back centuries. The landscape includes both urban sections and open countryside, with the East Coast main railway line running nearby. This blend gives the area a distinct identity within the wider region.
