Matfen Northumberland Map

About Matfen

Matfen, a quiet Northumberland village, possesses a certain stillness that seems to absorb the low-slung sun. It lies 8.5 km north-north-east of Corbridge (from Corbridge: bearing 28°T, OS grid NZ 029 718), and is situated east-north-east of Great Whittington village. The land here rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible incline, much like the hushed conversations that might have passed through its stone-built cottages over the centuries. A subtle scent of damp earth and woodsmoke often hangs in the air, a reminder of the agricultural heart that still beats beneath Matfen's tranquil surface. The village green, a modest expanse of emerald, offers a focal point, a place where the scattered houses seem to converge, their grey stone facades softened by the passage of time and the ever-present Northumberland sky.
