Welcome to Chollerton Parish

Situated in the beautiful and rural North Tyne Valley, bordered by the river itself, the civil parish of Chollerton is home to some 700 residents and has a very active and vibrant community.  As well as interesting historical sites the area contains a village shop, three churches and a chapel, the pub, a post office, a long-established caravan park, two village halls, a first school and several play areas.  Farming is the predominant activity in the area but it is also the location for a large Whinstone quarry and other smaller quarries.

Chollerton Parish Council is a statutory local authority set up under local government legislation. The Parish includes the villages of Barrasford, Gunnerton and Colwell and the settlements of Barrasford Park, Great Swinburne, Chollerton and part of Birtley, as well as outlying farmsteads.

This website, which is being run by the Parish Council, provides the opportunity to publish information and documents relating to the work of the Parish Council, its meetings and accounts.  It is also intended to be a useful resource for our community, providing information and links to local organisations and activities.

If you have any suggestions for information to be included on the website please do get in touch with us (see Contact page for details).
