Bardon Mill is a village in Northumberland, in England.[1] It is situated to the west of Haydon Bridge and Hexham, on the South Tyne. Bardon Mill lies several kilometres south of Broomlee Lough and slightly to the south of the course of the ancient Hadrian's Wall. The length of Hadrian's Wall is 117 kilometres, spanning Britain; the wall incorporated Agricola's Ditch and was constructed chiefly of stone in the eastern reaches,[2] such as near Bardon Mill. The wall was designed primarily to prevent entrance by small bands of raiders or unwanted immigration from the north, not as a fighting line for a major invasion according to Johnson.[3]

The village is served by Bardon Mill railway station
