Welcome to Ellington

Ellington is a small village located in the county of Northumberland, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south-east of the town of Morpeth and 15 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. John the Baptist Church. Ellington is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities.

One of the main attractions of Ellington is its proximity to the Northumberland coast. The village is just a short drive from some of the region's most stunning beaches, including Druridge Bay and Cresswell Beach. These beaches are popular with locals and visitors alike, offering miles of golden sand and clear blue waters. The area is also home to a number of nature reserves, including the Druridge Pools and the Northumberland Wildlife Trust's Hauxley Nature Reserve, which provide opportunities for birdwatching and other outdoor activities.

Despite its rural location, Ellington is well-connected to the rest of the region. The village is just a few miles from the A1, which provides easy access to Newcastle, Edinburgh, and other major cities. The nearby town of Morpeth offers a range of shops, restaurants, and other amenities, while the city of Newcastle is just a short train ride away. With its beautiful countryside, stunning coastline, and convenient location, Ellington is a wonderful place to live or visit.
