Fenwick is a small hamlet, nestled in Northumberland’s beautiful countryside, equi-distant from the villages of Stamfordham and Matfen, but only 15 miles from Newcastle city centre. Stamfordham is a charming village centred around a village green, and offers local amenities including two pubs, a first school, a church, a doctors surgery, a village hall, an annual August fete, and a local cricket club; the village is very community-orientated and supports a number of local clubs and groups. Matfen is a planned estate village dating from the 19th century, with Matfen Hall, a spa and country club with a 27 hole golf course. Matfen also supports a church, a pub and a village store and coffee shop, as well as Go Ape Matfen, a tree-top adventure space including rope climbs and swings. The surrounding area offers excellent walking and cycling opportunities, including the notorious Ryals climb – in 2011 Stamfordham was the finish point for the National Road Race Cycling Championships. Ponteland, 8 miles away, is the nearest destination for major services such as shopping or banking. From Ponteland all services are available along the western edge of Newcastle upon Tyne, and from there it’s a short metro ride to everything that Newcastle has to offer, ensuring that Fenwick Cottages benefits from being nestled firmly in Northumberland’s stunning countryside yet close enough to all services to ensure the best of both worlds.
