About the Blackcock Country Inn and Restaurant
|
Falstone is the capital of the Upper North Tyne,
the name said to be derived from Anglo Saxon meaning “Stronghold”.
The Blackcock Country Inn and Restaurant is an award winning 17th century Inn
(the first and last in England) traditionally built in local stone and situated
in a picturesque village next to the stunning scenery and wildlife of
Kielder Water & Forest Park.

|
The homely bar with exposed beams and log fires (in winter) offers a warm
welcome and service, a friendly atmosphere and comfortable surroundings.

We are near Hadrian's Wall with its Roman forts and museum, Castles,
Hexham Abbey with its 1300 years of history and Saxon crypt and a local
Bird of Prey Centre. This is an ideal location for walking, cycling,
fishing and boating and there is a Beer Garden, an equipped children's
play area and Tennis Courts.
Pets are very welcome, can also stay in the rooms with
our 5 Paw Accommodation providing water bowls, squeaky toys and Bonios
and we serve a Doggy Dinner menu in the bar.
So if you are looking for a wild and romantic place to savour, an oasis
of calm to recharge the spirit then the Blackcock Country Inn and Restaurant
is the perfect all year round destination where there is no schedule
but your own.

Chatto's Restaurant at The Blackcock Country Inn

Chatto's is the name of the intimate restaurant which the Head Chef has
transformed into an oasis of fresh produce, cooked to order making full
use of local suppliers (meat purchased under the Quality Assured Scheme)
thereby cutting “food miles”.
On offer is an a la carte evening menu with Specials changing daily as
well as a lighter lunch alternative. Vegetarian options have been awarded a
Golden Gourmet Rosette and children can choose from their own menu including
including balanced diets of fish, meat and poultry dishes as well as
burgers.
Food events are arranged throughout the year e.g. Curry Week, Seafood Week,
Vegetarian Week that focus on some of the Chef's specialities.
By visiting the Blackcock Country Inn and Restaurant you can also celebrate

The Kielder Experience is waiting for YOU...
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Tucked away at the head of the North Tyne Valley, close to the Scottish
border, lies the stunning Kielder Water & Dam with its 27 mile shoreline
surrounded by the expanse of Britain's largest forest, the varied
landscape reflecting the mood of Northumbria, the most tranquil place
in England where beauty runs far and deep and where forest and water
unite to provide a wide range of leisure opportunities to suit the
interest of every visitor.
The lake shoreline and forest glades can
best be explored on foot, cycle, horseback or mountain bike where two
of the best single track trails in England (differently graded) can be
experienced. Guided exploration is provided by both the Forest Enterprise
and the Northumberland National Park in their What's On programmes of
events and activities.
As one of the largest lakes in Northern Europe,
Kielder Water is able to offer a wide range of water based activities
from water skiing and windsurfing to the more relaxing boating and
angling, while the cruiser “Osprey” offers an ideal way to explore the lake.
