Longhoughton is a small rural village in Northumberland, England. It lies near the coast, about northeast of Alnwick, in the similarly named parish of Longhoughton. The village lies under the spectacular whinstone outcrop, Ratcheugh Crag, near which local point-to-point racing is often conducted. Longhoughton church does double-duty as the church of the nearby RAF Boulmer ==History== The village has a turbulent history and was often sacked in Medieval times. From the 12th century until recently, the village was noted for its water and corn mills.〔(Northumberland.gov.uk )〕 There was local industry based on limestone, coal and lead; although agriculture was always the main occupation. On top of Ratcheugh Crag is a Robert Adam-designed observatory, built by Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Longhoughton, Northumberland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
