Felton is a village in Northumberland, North East England, 8.9 miles (14 km) south of Alnwick and 12 miles (19 km) north of Morpeth. The nearest city, Newcastle upon Tyne, is 24 miles (39 km) south of the village, and the Scottish border is 37 miles (60 km) north of it. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 1531.[1][2]
There are two bridges crossing the River Coquet. The older stone bridge dates to around the 15th century,[3] while the newer concrete bridge was built in 1926. The older bridge is closed to traffic, and is often used for village events including wassailing at Christmas.
St Michael and All Angels church to the west of the village is a Grade I listed building.
