"The Hesleyside Reel" is an English reel in A Major. The parts are played AABB. It was composed by Tommy Elliot of Gunnerton. Hesleyside Hall is in southern Northumberland near Bellingham, the ancestral home of the Charlton family on the banks of the North Tyne. It was built in 1719 on or near the site of a 14th century tower house and part of a wall of the tower is possibly incorporated in the present building. The tune was printed in Phillips' Fiddlecase Tunebook: British Isles (1989). It was recorded by Alistair Anderson on Traditional Tunes (1976) and Kathryn Tickell on On Kielder Side (1984).
