Falstone is a small, rural parish in Northumberland, England, tucked into the valley of the River North Tyne not far from the Scottish border and within easy reach of Kielder Forest and Kielder Water. The landscape is a mix of rolling hills, riverine woodlands and scattered farms, with easy access to walking, fishing and the dark skies for which the Kielder area is known.
Historically it has been a hill‑farming and forestry community and that character still shapes village life: sparsely populated, with stone cottages, a parish church and a small, active community using a village hall and local events to sustain social life. Tourism has become an important supplement to the local economy, drawing walkers, anglers and anyone looking for a quiet base from which to explore the border country and nearby Northumberland National Park.
