Ingram is a small village in Northumberland, in the Cheviots, on the River Breamish, and on the edge of Northumberland National Park; it houses a National Park visitor centre.
The village church is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels.
The Breamish Valley through which the small Breamish river runs is a very popular place with summer visitors and hill walkers. Driving past the visitor centre until coming to the public toilets and car park on the right, one reaches the starting point from which to climb the hills. Opposite the car park, halfway up the hill towards Brough Law, are the remnants of a Bronze Age settlement, easily missed, as it is merely an overgrown area surrounded by stones. Approximately half an hour is required to walk up the beaten path to the top of Brough Law.

At the top of Brough Law - the nearby hill. It was once an old fort but is now just a circle of tumbled down stones.
