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.

The stone cross is a war memorial and an impressive monument in the form of a Celtic cross, erected in memory of local soldiers who died in the First (22) and Second World Wars (3). The 4.8-meter sandstone cross is richly decorated with symbolic patterns and inscriptions that convey deep respect and historical significance. It is a peaceful, reflective spot in the heart of the village, near Holy Trinity Church.

Next to the village hall with its historic charm, lies the friendly village shop and café. Ideal for a break, lunch stop or to charge your phone. Inside you will find modern facilities, from Wi-Fi to a well-equipped kitchen.

Lovely cafe and village but the owner would not allow me to charge my e bike battery and it is a long way to Bellingham, be warned!

Beautiful village and lovely cafe except they would not allow me ot charge my electric bike battery and it is a long way to Bellingham. There is no cafe in the town before Matfen too (Stamfordham) but there is a pub that might be cooperative.

It’s an unconventional gate

Cyclist friendly of course!
