Morpeth, Market town in Northumberland, England.

The River Wansbeck flows through this administrative center of Northumberland, featuring stone buildings along its winding streets and a clock tower.

The de Merlay family established control of Morpeth in 1080 and constructed two castles, with the 14th-century gatehouse remaining as evidence.

The Wednesday market tradition continues since 1200, bringing local producers and artisans together in the town center each week.

The railway station on the East Coast Main Line provides direct connections to Newcastle, while numerous shops serve the surrounding rural communities.

The town maintains one of only four floral clocks in England, located within the gardens of Carlisle Park.
