    On September 14 in 1402, Wooler and its surroundings saw events that helped shape the future of English and Scottish history.
    A force led by the Earl of Northumberland and his son Hotspur routed a Scots army in the Battle of Homildon Hill – now know as Humbleton Hill.


    Despite the fact that the battle is mentioned by Shakespeare in his play Henry IV Part I, the site is not marked and few if any visitors to the Cheviot Hills area know of this dramatic episode in Northumberland’s history.
