Callaly

Callaly

Callaly is a village in Northumberland, England. It is situated approximately 9 miles (15 km) to the west of Alnwick. Callaly Castle is located just north of the village, and the main A697 road (to Morpeth) is 3 miles (5 km) away.

Dancing Hall is located outside of Callaly Village and is a site where traditionally convicts from the local region were held before being transported to the local magistrates at Powburn. Dancing Hall derives its name from the fact that the majority of convicts were on their way to be hung for various crimes or going to "Dance on the hangmans rope".
