Falstone
FalstoneNestling below the dam of Kielder Water in the North Tyne Valley, the small village of Falstone is an excellent point to explore the surrounding countryside. It has its own riverside trail, pub, toilets, car parking, and Post Office.
The former Victorian school rooms in Falstone house the village's Tea Rooms, which re-opened after an award winning refurbishment programme in October 2004.
Falstone Tea Rooms also form part of the Tynedale Renewable Energy Trail, a tour around renewable energy installations in the area. Visit our Wark Forest Walking Routes for information on walks starting from Falstone.
Also of particular interest are the elaborate Victorian drinking fountain and the early 18th Century sculptured gravestones in the churchyard, including that of a girl holding hands with a skeleton. You can learn more about the history of Falstone in our Historic Village Atlas.
During the summer, the 714 bus services runs between Newcastle and Kielder. For more information contact:
