Bird in Bush Free House, Elsdon
Several of Elsdon's C18th-early C19th century buildings, including the Bird in Bush were originally inns, which demonstrates the importance of villages's role at that time as a local transport hub, and the trade brought by Scottish carters and drovers using the developing turnpike network, and the cross-border drove-roads.

Elsdon, Northumberland

Elsdon is a village and civil parish in the English county of Northumberland about 10 miles (16 km) to the south-west of Rothbury. The name is derived from the Old English meaning Elli's valley.

Formerly the capital of Redesdale, Elsdon contains a very fine example of a Motte and Bailey Castle, and a near perfect Pele Tower (fortified house of a type found in the border country) which is a private residence.

Geographically, Elsdon lies in Redesdale and, as a market town, was once the primary settlement in the area.
