Chathill is a village in Northumberland. It is about nine miles north of Alnwick and three miles inland from the North Sea coast. It is served by Chathill railway station.
The village is on the main road serving Seahouses and the northern coast of the county.
Chathill is home to Preston Pele Tower, built between 1392 and 1399. One of its former owners was Sir Guiscard Harbottle of Beamish, who was killed at the Battle of Flodden. The tower has a clock, installed in 1864, which features mechanisms similar to Big Ben.[1]
