On the Fosse Way, at the junction of the A429 and A44.

Situated on a wide section of the Roman Fosse Way, with elegant honey coloured Cotswold stone buildings interspersed with old brick dating from the 17th and 18th centuries lining the High Street. At one time it was an important weaving centre and coaching town. The White Hart Hotel was formerly a manor house in which King Charles sheltered during the Civil War.

The Redesdale Hall, built in 1887 in the middle of the High Street, where most weekends there are antiques, craftwork or art exhibitions. On the other side of the High Street is the Curfew Tower, the oldest building in the town, which was built in the 16th century as a lock up, and has affixed to its front wall a list of tolls charged at markets and fairs in 1905.

This bustling town is renowned for its famous street market, held every Tuesday, in the High Street.
