Bywell is a village in Northumberland, in England. It is situated on the north bank of the River Tyne opposite Stocksfield, between Hexham and Newcastle. In 2011 the population of the parish was 451 according to the UK census.

Bywell was formed as a civil parish in 1887 on the merger of the former parishes of Bywell St. Andrew and Bywell St. Peter. Wikipedia has descriptions of both the churches.

From 1894 until 1955 Bywell was part of Hexham Rural District. In 1974 rural districts were abolished and it became part of the Tynedale District until 2009 when Northumberland became a unitary authority.

Bywell was expanded in area in 1955 when the parishes of Bearl, Newton, Newton Hall, Stelling and Styford, were abolished. These parishes were all originally townships of either Bywell St. Andrew or Bywell St. Peter.
