Horncliffe is a village in the county of Northumberland, England. It lies on the south bank of the River Tweed about southwest of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and about northeast of Norham and is the most northerly village in England.

== History == Horncliffe is the most northerly village in England, built on a cliff above the banks of the River Tweed which forms the border with Scotland. In 1639 the army of King Charles I camped along the south of the river near to the area of Chain Bridge towards "Ourde" (now named Ord).
