Greenhead is a village in Northumberland, England. The village is on the Military Road (B6318), about 17mi from Chollerford, 3mi from Haltwhistle and 9mi from Brampton, Cumbria along the A69 road. The A69 road bypasses the village, but until the 1980s all vehicular traffic passed through the village. The village lies just outside the Northumberland National Park, close to Hadrian's Wall. Just to the north of the village is the 12th-century Thirlwall Castle, recently restored and opened to the public. Nearby villages include Upper Denton and Haltwhistle. A former Methodist chapel in the village is now a youth hostel. The Pennine Way, the UK's first National Trail, passes through Greenhead.
