Corbridge, Northumberland

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An historic town close to Hadrian's Wall, Corbridge began as Corstopitum, built by the Romans to supply troops manning the Wall. Stones from the Roman town have been used in many local buildings, including the Vicar's Pele, or fortified tower house. The site of the Roman settlement has been excavated and can be viewed just north of the current town. In the medieval period Corbridge was second only to Newcastle upon Tyne in size and importance.

The parish church of St Andrews is of Saxon origin, with an 8th century tower. Within the nave is a complete Roman arch, doubtless scavenged from the old Roman settlement. In the churchyard stands the impressive 14th century Vicar's Pele. Another medieval building, Low Hall, dates from the 13th century, and is now a private dwelling. Nearby is Aydon Castle, a late 13th century fortified manor house.
