A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Budle from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "BUDLE, a township in Bambrough parish, Northumberland; on the S side of Warren bay, near the Northeastern railway, 3½ miles E by N of Belford. Acres: 724 Population: 106. Houses: 18. It has granaries, flourmills, and a pier. Cockles are plentiful near it; and rocks of different kinds alternate rapidly on its coast. A Roman road went from it to Alnwick. Budle House belonged to the Forsters, and passed to the Smiths."
Budle was a township in the ancient parish of Bamburgh. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Belford Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was absorbed back into Bamburgh.
