In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Halidon Hill like this:
HALIDON HILL, an eminence on the N verge of Northumberland; rising gradually from the river Tweed, 2 miles W of Berwick. A battle was fought here in 1333 between the English and the Scots; and is the subject of a drama by Sir Walter Scott.
Halidon Hill is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Halidon Hill itself, go to Statistics.
