Bothal, Near Morpeth, Northumberland
The photos on these pages have been taken in all four seasons in and around Bothal, which is situated in the valley of
the River Wansbeck between Morpeth and Ashington.
Bothal is a tiny village but has a castle and a very
old church and is a crossing point of the River Wansbeck with it's stepping
stones beside the Castle.
All roads in and out of Bothal are via steep banks and
Bothal Bank on the road to Ashington was a regular struggle for
the old United Buses that used to run this way, especially on market days at
Morpeth when they would be packed to bursting point.
Further up the Valley past the road bridge is Bothal
Weir which used to serve the old Bothal Mill. The mill stream remains
but is just a small trickle of water these days.
