Welcome to Flodden, Northumberland
Flodden Field was once the scene of battle, carnage and enmity, but now, yesterday’s bloody history is intertwined with a spirit of peace and reconciliation. The warring Borderlands have now given way to the tranquillity of fields of crops and to grazing sheep and cattle. It is here, in the quiet of the Borders countryside that one can imagine the events of five hundred years past, and perhaps feel the spirits of those who took part on that fateful day.
With its location close to the Scottish border the area has witnessed many battles over the centuries between the English and Scots. One of the more significant was the Battle of Branxton Moor, or The Battle of Flodden Field as it is more commonly known.
This website is dedicated to educating and informing of what happened and the significance of the battle, both for visitors and for local residents.
Any contribution you may care to make will be gratefully accepted, and used to maintain the Flodden Battlefield Trail and to perpetuate the memory of those who fell at Flodden Field.
