RAF Acklington closed in 1975 and is now the site of Acklington and Castington prisons.
Acklington Park in the parish of Warkworth, Northumberland, England was the birthplace of John Rushworth (born c.1612) who achieved fame in both England and during the formation of the United States of America for compiling a series of works called Historical Collections covering the English Civil Wars throughout the 17th century.
Nearby, towards Acklington Park stands a building that was originally the Acklington Park Ironworks, and has since been used as a cloth mill, paint factory and private housing.
