Welcome to Blanchland

Blanchland is a picturesque village located in Northumberland, England. The village is situated on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a popular destination for tourists who are looking to explore the stunning countryside. The village is known for its charming stone houses, cobbled streets, and historic buildings, which give it a unique character and charm.

One of the most notable landmarks in Blanchland is the 12th-century Blanchland Abbey, which was founded by the Premonstratensian order of monks. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation, and today, only the ruins remain. However, the ruins are still an impressive sight, and visitors can explore the remains of the church, cloister, and chapter house. The abbey is surrounded by beautiful gardens, which are perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Blanchland is also home to a number of excellent pubs and restaurants, which serve up delicious food and drink. The Lord Crewe Arms is a popular choice, with its cosy interior and traditional pub fare. The White Monk Tearooms is another great option, offering a range of homemade cakes and sandwiches, as well as a selection of teas and coffees. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal or a light snack, Blanchland has plenty of options to choose from.
