Flodden

England

England

Flodden lies in the Northumberland countryside near the Scottish border, accessible via the A697 which connects Newcastle to Edinburgh. Most visitors arrive on day trips from Wooler or Coldstream to explore the historic battleground where James IV fell in 1513. A granite cross marks the exact spot where the Scottish king died during one of Britain's bloodiest medieval battles.
