🏘️ Akeld

Akeld is a village and civil parish in Northumberland, England. It is situated around 2.7 miles (4.3 km) to the west of Wooler and 9.3 miles (15.0 km) from the border with Scotland at Coldstream. The village lies on the northern limit of Northumberland National Park and on the foot of the Cheviot Hills massif. It is overlooked by Akeld Hill and Harehope Hill to the south. In 2001 Akeld had a population of 82, increasing at the 2011 Census to 221, although this was partly due to the parish merging with that of Kirknewton. The burn which runs through the village and down to the Milfield Basin also bears the name Akeld.
