Both the A1 London to Edinburgh road and East Coast Main Line pass through the parish.

About the village

The Devil's Causeway passes the village of Middleton just over a mile to the east. The causeway is a Roman road which starts at Port Gate on Hadrian's Wall, north of Corbridge, and extends fifty-five miles northwards across Northumberland to the mouth of the River Tweed at Berwick-upon-Tweed.
