Welcome to Widdrington Station

Widdrington Station is a small village located in Northumberland, England. It is situated between the towns of Morpeth and Alnwick and is known for its beautiful countryside and peaceful atmosphere. The village is home to a small population of around 1,000 people and has a range of amenities including a post office, a convenience store, and a pub.

One of the main attractions of Widdrington Station is its proximity to the Northumberland coast. The village is just a short drive away from some of the region's most stunning beaches, including Druridge Bay and Cresswell Beach. These beaches are popular with locals and visitors alike and offer miles of unspoiled coastline to explore. The area is also home to a number of nature reserves, including the Druridge Pools and the Hauxley Nature Reserve, which are perfect for birdwatching and wildlife spotting.

Despite its small size, Widdrington Station has a rich history and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable is the Widdrington Castle, a 14th-century ruin that was once the home of the Widdrington family. The castle is now a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for guided tours. Other historic sites in the village include the St. John the Baptist Church, which dates back to the 12th century, and the Widdrington War Memorial, which commemorates the local soldiers who lost their lives in World War I and II.
