About

Prudhoe sits on the south bank of the River Tyne in Northumberland, built up around Prudhoe Castle. The castle perches on a sandstone spur above a bend in the river; its curtain walls and keep mark the medieval core of the settlement. The town expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries with rail and local industry, and layers of that history remain evident in the street pattern and former works sites. Riverside paths run beneath the castle outcrop and link green spaces alongside the river corridor.

Today Prudhoe functions as a local centre with shops, schools and community facilities clustered near the station on the Tyne Valley Line. The castle remains are visible from town routes and provide a fixed point for short walks along the river. Housing areas spread onto the lower slopes behind the main road, and allotments, small greens and former industrial plots sit within that pattern. The town balances everyday services with access to riverside walking and the castle setting, which shapes views through the centre.
