The Town Hall Buildings in Corbridge form a striking ensemble on the Market Place, reflecting the historic and civic heart of the village. Built in 1887 as a municipal complex, it combines Victorian architecture with local sandstone and characteristic details such as stepped gables, arched windows, and a clock tower. Originally housing a meeting hall, library, and fire station, the building remained a center for local government and community life for decades. Today, it houses various functions, including shops and apartments, while maintaining its role as a visual anchor and reminder of Corbridge's civic history and social dynamism.

St. Andrew’s Church in Corbridge is one of the oldest and most historic churches in Northumberland, with roots dating back to 674 AD, when St. Wilfrid founded a monastery here. Although the original timber-framed building has disappeared, the current church still incorporates Roman stonework from the nearby Corstopitum Fort, including an impressive tower arch dating from around 150 AD. Saxon and Norman elements include a Saxon window, a Norman zigzag doorway, and a 13th-century chancel. Vicar’s Pele Tower: a 14th-century fortified tower house built with Roman stone, once a refuge from Scottish raids. King’s Oven: a communal bread oven dating from 1310, still visible on the site. Memorial Gate: commemorates 108 local men who died in WWI.

The Beaufront Castle Gatehouse is the gateway to the impressive Beaufront Castle, a Grade I listed manor house in Northumberland, near Hexham. Although the castle itself was built between 1836 and 1841 in the Castellated Gothic Revival style by architect John Dobson, the complex contains older elements such as a clock tower with a bell dating from 1694 and parts of a 17th-century house belonging to the Errington family. The gatehouse is believed to be part of this historic structure and served as both ceremonial and functional access to the estate. It stands on a site where a pele tower—a fortified tower house that was later incorporated into the manor house—was mentioned as early as 1415.

The statue of Lieutenant Colonel George Elliott Benson in Hexham is an impressive bronze monument commemorating a British officer who died during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The statue stands directly opposite his former home in the South Tyne Valley. The Grade II listed monument was erected through public fundraising. Benson was born in Allerwash in 1861, educated at Harrow, and served with distinction in several colonial expeditions. His courage and leadership during the Boer War made him a local hero, and the statue is a lasting tribute to his service and sacrifice.

St. Aidan's Church in Hexham is a small but active congregation belonging to the United Reformed Church (URC). The building itself is modest and functional, lacking the medieval grandeur of Hexham Abbey. The church is part of Hexham Churches Together, an ecumenical network that promotes collaboration between different denominations.

Warden Bridge is an elegant stone arch bridge spanning the River South Tyne. The current bridge was built in 1903 and replaced an earlier chain bridge dating from 1826, which collapsed under the weight of a steam threshing machine in 1877. The structure consists of two stone arches with one pier suspended in the water. On the south side, the old tollhouse still stands, a reminder of the days when you had to pay to cross the bridge.

The Boatside Inn in Warden, near Hexham, is a historic country inn with a rich history dating back to 1782. Originally a trading station and stopping point for river crossings on the Tyne, it grew into a popular alehouse for travelers and locals alike.
