About Holystone

Holystone is a quaint village located in Northumberland, now part of the Harbottle parish, situated on the northern bank of the River Coquet and bordering the Northumberland National Park. A notable feature of the village is Holy Well, historically associated with early Christian baptisms and serving as the village's water source. As of 1951, Holystone had a population of just 71, reflecting its small, close-knit community. This unique setting may influence planning applications in the area, particularly concerning conservation and development near historical landmarks. It sits within the Harbottle district.
