Biddlestone is a tiny village in Northumberland at the edge of the Cheviot Hills, which rise up sharply from the village, about fourteen miles to the west of Alnwick.

The village is part of the large ecclesiastical parish of Upper Coquetdale in the Diocese of Newcastle, and the civil parish of Alwinton: the whole Alwinton parish had a population of just 177 in 2011.

Although there is no Church of England church in the village, there is the Biddlestone Roman Catholic Chapel, a Grade II* listed building. It is all that now remains of the former mansion Biddlestone Hall.
