Welcome to Elsdon
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Elsdon is a village and civil parish in the English county of Northumberland about 10 miles (16 km) to the southwest of Rothbury. The name is derived from the Old English meaning Elli's valley. Formerly the capital of Redesdale, Elsdon contains a very fine example of a Motte and Bailey Castle, and a near perfect Pele Tower (fortified house of a type found in the border country) which is a private residence. Geographically, Elsdon lies in Redesdale and, as a market town, was once the primary settlement in the area.
