Cornhill-on-Tweed is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, England about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Coldstream, Scotland. The hamlets of West Learmouth and East Learmouth are located to the south and west of the village respectively.

History

Cornhill Castle mound

A mile north-west of the village, on a spur above the River Tweed are the earthwork remains of Cornhill Castle.

Transport

Cornhill-on-Tweed lies at a junction of the A697 and A698 roads - the latter linking to Berwick-upon-Tweed, the nearest significant town, some 13 miles (21 km) away.

Education

The village lacks any schools, so pupils are sent to schools nearby. It formerly had a school known as Cornhill School, which was built in 1837 and closed in 2012.[2]
