Home to many Northumberland artists and musicians, Felton is ideally located between the market towns of Alnwick and Morpeth. It remains a truly tranquil village as it is bypassed by the A1. Therefore it does not see the heavy traffic experienced by other villages such as Warkworth. Lying on the St Oswald's Way, it offers a range of delights for the visitor including a gallery, The Running Fox artisan bakery and cafe, The Foxes Den micro pub, the village store and deli, a riverside picnic area, the gastronomocal delights of the Northumberland Arms, and the Church of St Michael's. Built circa 1200, its many alterations and additions have caused it to be almost encased within another church. Some unusual features are that the nave and an aisle appear roofless, as well as a window with geometrical tracery that features an eight-petalled flower patterned central circle cut from a single stone. Dedicated to Saint Michael, it is a Grade I listed building.Felton offers a range of intersting walks through the Northumberland countryside with either west or east via the St Oswald's way, or a circular route towards Acton House. The pedestrianised grade two listed stone bridge often holds village events in summer , such as 'art on the bridge' , charity plant sales, as well as carol services at Christmas. The bridge offers a perfect vantage point to watch resident dipper (pictured) , kingfisher, grey wagtail and other river life. Felton is also home to the annual music festival 'Feltonbury' and of course the famous Felton Fair.
