May2003).jpg)
'Belford' is a village in Northumberland, England about halfway between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, a few miles inland from the east coast, and just off the A1 road. It has a population of about 1,000.
The town has a church with a Norman chancel, and the Blue Bell hotel. The 18th century Belford Hall, now residential apartments, has Grade I listed building status.
It achieved some momentary fame in April 2000 when protests about the closure of its bank was picked up and used by the mainstream media to illustrate stories of rural decline brought about by bank branch closures.
Belford is surrounded by rich pastoral farmland, and to the west of the village is found one of the better rock climbing locations in the county, Bowden Doors.
