The village and civil parish of Matfen sits in rural Northumberland, within easy reach of Newcastle and Hexham. The area is dominated by the estate centred on Matfen Hall, now a country house hotel with a golf course, and is surrounded by rolling farmland, hedgerows and small stream valleys popular with walkers and riders.
With medieval roots, Matfen retains a compact village feel of stone cottages, a parish church and a village green; the local economy mixes agriculture with tourism, equestrian and country‑sport enterprises, and a small, active community maintains traditional village events and a strong sense of local identity.
