Barrow Burn is a hamlet in Northumberland. It is found in the very north of the county, in the Cheviot Hills and on the uppermost reaches of the River Coquet, in a place where the river's steep valley relents for a moment as it is fed by burns from the surrounding fells to provide a space for a settlement.
The hamlet is within Alwinton parish and in the shadow of Shillhope Law (1,644 feet). It is also at the edge of the army firing ranges. There is a bunkhouse in the village for passing travellers.
