Corbridge

Base here 1 night if you want Roman Coria and a quiet Tyne valley stop; 2 nights only if you add Hadrian's Wall or Aydon Castle by car.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Corbridge is a small Tyne valley village 16 miles west of Newcastle and 4 miles east of Hexham, with a compact centre, a Saxon-rooted church and the Roman town of Coria on its edge. Most travellers see it in half a day from Hexham or Newcastle; a single night works if you want the Roman site and an evening pub without rushing the last train.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
  • United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
  • United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
  • United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.

Watch out

Safety

A quiet, low-crime village; the real risks are dark unlit lanes after pub closing, fast traffic on the A69 and riverbank paths that flood after heavy rain.
  • The station footbridge has been out of use; reach the Hexham-bound platform via the south-side car park (check before you travel).
  • Corbridge Roman Town has limited opening — weekends only in some seasons; check English Heritage before you go.
  • The A69 is a fast dual carriageway with no pavement; cyclists should use loops of the old main road.
  • Corbridge Music Festival has been on hold since 2019; don't plan a trip around it.
