WHY NOT PLAN A VISIT TO THE HERITAGE CENTRE AT BELLINGHAM?

Explore our Reiver exhibition and uncover stories of their lawless lives, and see if your surname belonged to a Reiver clan.

Step beyond the Centre and visit St Cuthbert’s Church, Bellingham, with its rare stone-vaulted roof built to resist Reiver attacks, or drive and discover nearby bastles and towers for yourself.

🧠 Our friendly and passionate volunteers are always nearby to share the secrets and stories behind the exhibits—just ask!
The Heritage Centre Bellingham—where every object has a story to tell.

🚂✨ Step back in time at The Heritage Centre Bellingham!
Hareshaw Ironworks may have turned our little market town of Bellingham into a major industrial centre - if only the railway had arrived fifteen years earlier. Iron ore was successfully produced for ten years but was too expensive to transport to market, and the ironworks closed in 1848. The remains of the ironworks can still be seen on the scenic walk to our waterfall at Hareshaw Linn.
