Bearsbridge is a small village in Northumberland, to the south-west of Hexham, on the A686 road to Alston, Cumberland. Bearsbridge is a scattered place in the dale of the River West Allen, running down to the bridge.
The Bear's Bridge itself, after which this hamlet is named, is over a minor burn feeding the West Allen.
There is an old sawmill on the river below the village.
