Cornhill on Tweed

Cornhill on tweed is a village in Northumberland. It is just 1 mile to the east of Coldstream. Its original name was Cornell. The River Tweed is about one mile from the village and here there is an eighteenth century bridge with five arches spanning the river.

Strangely Cornhill used to be part of County Durham but in 1844 an Act of Parliament transferred it to Northumberland.

The Anglican Church is dedicated to Saint Helen , the mother of Constantine the Great.

Northumbria byways has Keeper cottage close to the Village.
