Powburn
Powburn is a small village on the A697 in Northumberland, England about south of Wooler and northwest of Alnwick.
==Landmarks==
The Devil's Causeway passes through the village and continues north under the A697 road crossing the River Till. The causeway is a Roman road which starts at Port Gate on Hadrian's Wall, north of Corbridge, and extends northwards across Northumberland to the mouth of the River Tweed at Berwick-upon-Tweed.
There was a wonderful pub called The Plough in Powburn which served fabulous meals and had a great atmosphere, although years of mismanagement have resulted in the pub falling into a poor state of repair; it is often closed during normal opening hours and has been subject to public health improvement notices.
By the roadside a stiff half-mile eastwards from Powburn is Crawley Tower, a fine Border pele constructed largely of material from the Roman camp one corner of which it occupies. The station has been a strong one (its defensive ditch is still imposing) and probably guarded the crossing, near Hedgeley Railway Station, of the Breamish by the Devil's Causeway.
