Denwick is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, located about 1.4 miles (2 km) north-east of Alnwick.

History

The church at Denwick was built in the late 19th century, although it is predated by the majority of buildings in the village[2] including Denwick House, built in 1808 and now a grade II listed building.[3]

Geography

The civil parish is divided into two parts.[4] Denwick village is located within the main part, north of the Aln, along with the majority of Hulne Park. The detached southern part of the parish extends as far south as Newton on the Moor.

Denwick Burn, a tributary of the River Aln, flows past the village to the north.

Transport

Denwick is served by the 418 bus, operated by Travelsure.[9] This service runs between Alnwick and Belford.[10]

The main road through the village is the B1340, which provides a direct route to Alnwick. The Denwick interchange between the B1340 and the A1 was constructed in the 1980s as part of the Alnwick by-pass.
