Brunton (Embleton)


Brunton is a hamlet in Northumberland, situated by Brunton Burn, about 7 miles north of Alnwick. High Brunton is thought to be the site of the deserted medieval village of Brunton, which was first recorded in 1296; even as late as 1828 maps shows a larger farming hamlet.[1] Brunton Airfield was built in 1942, during World War 2, as a satellite airfield of RAF Milfield, for the training of single seat fighter pilots. Historically, High and Low Brunton was a township in the ancient parish of Embleton. Today, Brunton is part of Newton-by-the-Sea Civil Parish. Many of the former farm buildings here have been converted to tourist accommodation.

Not to be confused with Low Brunton near Hexham, also in Northumberland.
