Kyloe is a civil parish in the county of Northumberland, about 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Berwick-upon-Tweed. According to the parish council, the main centres of population are Fenwick, Beal, and Berrington (in the western "panhandle" of the parish). [2]
The grade-II-listed former Church of St Nicholas in Kyloe was built in the 18th century, [3] replacing a medieval building, and is now a private house. [4]
At East Kyloe, the ruins of a late 14th- or early 15th-century medieval tower house known as Kyloe Tower now form part of a complex of farm buildings. [5]
The nearby woodland area is a famous area for rock climbing and bouldering. Known locally as 'Kyloe-In-The-Woods' or simply 'The Woods', the crags are home to some of the toughest climbs in the UK.[ citation needed]
