Welcome to Barrasford

Barrasford is a small village located in the county of Northumberland, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Tyne and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Aidan's Church and the 18th-century Barrasford Arms pub. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a post office.

One of the main attractions of Barrasford is its proximity to Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wall was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD to protect their empire from the barbarian tribes to the north. Today, visitors can explore the remains of the wall and the many forts and settlements that were built along its length. Barrasford is also close to other historic sites, such as the medieval castle at Warkworth and the Roman fort at Vindolanda.

Despite its small size, Barrasford has a strong sense of community. The village hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete, a Christmas fair, and a scarecrow festival. The village also has a cricket team and a football team, which play in local leagues. Barrasford is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Northumberland.
