Welcome to Falstone

Falstone is a small village located in the Northumberland region of England. It is situated in the heart of the Northumberland National Park, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The village is known for its picturesque scenery, with rolling hills, lush green forests, and crystal-clear lakes. It is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and explore the surrounding countryside.

One of the main attractions in Falstone is Kielder Water, which is the largest man-made lake in Northern Europe. The lake is surrounded by a vast forest, which is home to a variety of wildlife, including red squirrels, otters, and ospreys. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities on the lake, such as sailing, fishing, and kayaking. There are also several walking and cycling trails around the lake, which offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Falstone is also home to several historic landmarks, such as the 13th-century St. Peter's Church. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its beautiful stained-glass windows and intricate stonework. Another notable landmark is the Falstone Border Shepherds Show, which is an annual event that celebrates the region's farming heritage. The show features a range of activities, including sheepdog trials, sheep shearing, and traditional music and dance performances.
