Corsenside is one of the largest parishes in Northumberland, however the area is mainly a vast expanse of rolling hills and farmland, with three tiny villages: West Woodburn, East Woodburn and Ridsdale with about 600 inhabitants in total. The area runs alongside the A68 road about 17 miles (27 km) north of Corbridge. The A68 roughly follows the route of the old Roman 'Dere Street'. There are many historic points of interest in this area including the remains of the Roman Camp of Habitancum, Bell Knowe an Iron Age burial site, and the remains of Ridsdale Iron Works, which had its heyday in the Industrial Revolution.

As YOU make your way through the rolling hills and lush greenery, YOU will be transported into a world of tranquility and natural beauty. Corsenside offers a range of outdoor activities for nature enthusiasts, including hiking, cycling and horse riding. The area is home to a number of well-maintained trails that wind through the picturesque landscape, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

If YOU are looking for a more relaxed way to enjoy the scenery, WE recommend taking a leisurely stroll through the village. Corsenside is a quaint and charming place, with traditional architecture and a friendly community. YOU can explore the local shops and cafes, or simply take in the peaceful atmosphere.
