Budle

Budle is a hamlet in Northumberland, located on the south side of Budle Bay and about 1 mile west of Bamburgh. There was a medieval village here, documented from the 13th century.[1] The modern settlement mainly dates from the 19th century, including Budle Hall, which was built in 1851. Many of the cottages here are now holiday lets. Budle forms part of Bamburgh Civil Parish.
