A picture postcard village
Located close to Hadrian's Wall, the lovely village of Matfen is well worth spending some time in. This eighteenth-century planned estate village was originally established by the Blackett family.

With a gently flowing stream, village green and attractive stone dwellings, Matfen is as unspoilt as it has ever been. Built some 200 years ago, the attractive, creeper-covered Black Bull Inn fronts the village green and has low beams and open fires.

Golfing nirvana
The village is dominated by Matfen Hall, built in 1830 by Sir Edward Blackett. This imposing ancestral home has been converted into a luxury 4-star country house hotel. The hotel boasts a state-of-the-art spa and leisure club. The magnificent grounds of the hall boast an excellent eighteen hole golf course is rated as one of the finest in the North East.
