Pegswood village has a population of 3,365 and is located approximately 2 miles northeast of Morpeth on the A197 Morpeth to Ashington road. The original village developed around the colliery, however, since its closure in 1969, Pegswood has increasingly become a dormitory village with people commuting to surrounding centres, particularly Cramlington and Newcastle.

The village is reasonably well served by facilities, including a first school, health centre, several local shops, social clubs and a small light industrial estate. A mobile library serves the village, and a branch library is proposed. The main area of public open space, the Pegswood Welfare Park lies to the south of the railway and provides football pitches and bowling green facilities.

Pegswood is well served by public transport, with the railway station providing commuter services to Newcastle and Cramlington, and an hourly bus service operating to Morpeth and Ashington.
