Morpeth is a beautiful market town at the heart of North Northumberland,
there is a small community park, swimming pool with Leisure Center and
a small but significant retail shopping center which has a number of craft and gift shops.
To the West of the town lies Wooler and the Cheviots and Edinburgh, to the South, Newcastle and the Metro Centre.
Within easy reach of the town lie some of the most beautiful and untarnished coastlines, castles and hills this country has to offer
from Cresswell through to Holy Island.
Morpeth also has a colourful and rich history which involves music, admiralty and the Sufferagette movement.
Lord Collingwood and Emily Davidson respectively, we also have the famous Turner herb gardens named after William Turner the famous botanist
For our part we are intending to add a pictoral tribute of the town, its wildlife and the surrounding area as
well as a brief history.
We will start with a small tribute to the Northumberland Gathering which comes to this town
every year, a thoroughly enjoyable time with music history and culture from a bygone era. A special thank you to all those who take part and especially to the The Sealed Knot who entertain the
families with a vivid reproduction of historical warfare and life.
