Village guides are a unique series of guides designed for the iPhone and iPad.



Available completely free, they allow both the casual visitor and the long-time resident to have a fascinating insight into the past by telling the story of villages through text, audio and superb archive photographs.



Set in the North-East of England, they bring the region’s particular mix of industrial and medieval past to light in a way that traditional guidebooks cannot match.



So far the guides include Ashington, Barrington, Bebside, Bedlington, Bedlington Station, Blyth, Bomarsund, Bothal, Cambois, Choppington & Scotland Gate, Choppington Station, Cowpen, Cresswell, East Sleekburn, Ellington, Guide Post, Hebron, Hepscott, Linton, Longhirst, Lynemouth, Morpeth, Nedderton, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, North Blyth, North Seaton, Pegswood, Sheepwash, Stakeford, Stobswood, Tritlington, Ulgham, West Sleekburn Widdrington, Widdrington Stattion and Woodhorn, with a new village added every month or so.



If you are even remotely interested in local history, or learning more about the buildings that surround you – these are the guides for you.
