Bedlington is a former mining town in Northumberland, approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of the nearest city, Newcastle upon Tyne and 4.5 miles (7 km) southeast of the county town of Morpeth. Other nearby places include: Ashington to the north northeast, Blyth to the east and Cramlington to the south.
The parish of Bedlington constituted the historic exclave of County Durham called Bedlingtonshire which is famous for giving its name to a breed of dog; the Bedlington Terrier.
The town has good public transport and commuter links and plenty of local shops including a supermarket and a post office and hosts a weekly market on Thursdays in the market place. Bedlington is served by two secondary schools: Bedlingtonshire Community High School and St Benet Biscop Catholic Academy. Bedlington is also served by three primary schools: Bedlington Station Primary School, Stead Lane Primary School and St Bede's Primary School. One of the few middle schools left in England is Meadowdale Academy. The town of Bedlington also has two first schools: Whitley Memorial C of E School and Bedlington West End County First School.
Hartford Hall lies within the parish with much of the riverside land between Bedlington and the hall forming the Bedlington Country Park, a designated local nature reserve.
