Parish in Focus: Rochester with Byrness

The Civil Parish is the lowest tier of local government and many of the parishes in Northern England have boundaries and interesting histories relating to the ancient townships of long ago. Typically they have an enduring sense of place and community.

Northumberland Rochester with Byrness Civil Parish is located in Upper Redesdale in Northumberland, bounded to the north by the England-Scotland Border. It is about 34 miles north-west of Newcastle. The River Rede flows south-easterly through the parish. The A68 road transects the parish, roughly following close to the course of the river; there is a stopping place on the A68 at Carter Bar on the border with Scotland. The south of the parish is in the Northumberland National Park; including Bremenium Roman Fort at High Rochester. Whitelee Moor National Nature Reserve is in the north-west of the parish. The largest settlements are the villages of Byrness and Rochester.
