Landmarks
The Devil's Causeway passes through the village having continued north under a C Road for about from Newtown. The causeway is a Roman road which starts at Port Gate on Hadrian's Wall, north of Corbridge, and extends northwards across Northumberland to the mouth of the River Tweed at Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The rural village of Lowick can be found in the northern part of Northumberland, approximately 9 miles south of Berwick-upon-Tweed and 7 miles northeast of Wooler. The ancient road used by the monks of Lindisfarne to Durham crosses the Roman Road called the Devil's Causeway here - it was at these crossroads that Lowick began to develop.
The village lies at 100m above sea level. There are two public house, the Black Bull and the White Swan, and a village shop. A mobile post office visits each weekday morning.
A mile to the east of the village are the earthwork remains of Lowick Castle.
