Beadnell is a traditional fishing
village. It is situated 9 miles northeast of Alnwick and 8 miles
southeast of Belford. The present day Beadnell consists of three
places in one, Beadnell Harbour, the old Beadnell Village and
Beadnell Haven. Beadnell harbour, the only one on the east coast
to face west, is of considerable age and was probably constructed
in the eighteenth century, as were the limekilns, which are now
under the protection of the National Trust. The village has a
16th century peel tower, the characteristic fortified house of
the borders, in the Craster Arms. The oldest remains in the village
are those of the 13th century chapel and buildings on Ebb's Neuk
Point, east of the harbour. Also see Beadnell.
