Emerging in the Middle Ages due to its strategic location at a crossroads, Rothbury's rich history is etched into its landscape. From its roots as a cattle and wool trading hub during the Early Modern Era to the seismic industrial advancements brought about by Sir William Armstrong in the Victorian times, the town's legacy is as captivating as it is complex.

Sir William Armstrong's Cragside House, now a National Trust site, stands as a testament to the town's historical gravitas. With prehistoric artefacts such as standing stones and hillforts and the tales of theologian Bernard Gilpin – dubbed the "Apostle of the North" – mediating between rival gangs, Rothbury is a living history book that continues to inspire its visitors.
