'''Powburn''' is a small village on the [[A697 road|A697]] in [[Northumberland]], England about {{convert|8|mi|0}} south of [[Wooler]] and {{convert|10|mi|0}} northwest of [[Alnwick]].
==Landmarks==
The [[Devil's Causeway]] passes through the village and continues north under the [[A697 road]] crossing the [[River Till, Northumberland|River Till]]. The causeway is a [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] road which starts at [[Portgate]] on [[Hadrian's Wall]], north of [[Corbridge]], and extends {{convert|55|mi|0}} northwards across Northumberland to the mouth of the [[River Tweed]] at [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]].

By the roadside a stiff half-mile eastwards from Powburn is Crawley Tower, a fine medieval Border [[Peel tower|pele]]. The fortification is a strong one (its defensive ditch is still imposing) and probably guarded the crossing, near the former [[Hedgeley railway station]], of the Breamish by the Devil's Causeway.<ref name=hugill>{{cite book
