Ingram is a small quaint village that has existed since pre-Saxon times and sits in the Breamish Valley where the River Breamish widens out into fields and haughland. The Breamish Valley (and Ingram in particular) is renowned for its natural beauty and sites of archaeological and historical significance. There are Iron Age hill forts to find with various walks signposted, large open spaces to picnic by the river and wonderful views of the surrounding hills. If you want to walk, relax with a picnic or cycle there are many routes and spaces available to you. Being part of Northumberland National Park there’s also a visitor information board near the bridge, and car parking areas at various points in the valley.

August 21, 2023, The Drake Stone

The Drake Stone is a large sandstone boulder that is said to have healing powers and is believed to have been used by druids in their rituals. The stone is about 20 feet tall and weighs 2,000 tonnes. It is said that children who touch the stone are cured of their ailments. The Drake Stone is also said to be haunted. According to legend, a voice once boomed from the stone, warning workers who were attempting to drain the lake nearby that the village would be flooded if they continued. Additionally, those who spend the night near the stone are said to be unable to leave in the morning.
