Ellingham is a picturesque and highly regarded rural village in Northumberland, situated just inland from the county's spectacular Heritage Coast. Surrounded by open countryside yet conveniently positioned close to the A1, the village offers an enviable balance between peaceful country living and accessibility to nearby towns and coastal destinations. 

The village enjoys a strong sense of community, centred around the modern Ellingham Village Hall, which hosts a varied programme of activities, social events, craft workshops, fitness classes, theatre productions and community gatherings throughout the year. The hall serves as an important hub for residents and reflects the welcoming and active nature of village life. 

Among the village amenities is the highly regarded The Pack Horse Inn, a popular country pub and restaurant, along with the historic St Maurice's Church. Ellingham also benefits from its own Church of England primary school, making it particularly attractive to families seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing access to education.
 
Despite its tranquil setting, Ellingham is well placed for accessing many of Northumberland's most desirable locations. The market town of Alnwick lies less than ten miles to the south, offering supermarkets, independent shops, leisure facilities, healthcare services and schooling. The beautiful coastal villages of Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh are all within easy reach, providing miles of sandy beaches, watersports opportunities and scenic coastal walks.
