Local Information
Horsley is a small village with historic and architectural significance and a large part of it was designated a Conservation Area in 1992 with buildings that can be traced back to at least the start of the 18th century, some built with stones from Hadrian’s Wall. The village lies on the northern side of the River Tyne overlooking the river valley, some 10 miles west of Newcastle, and is surrounded by open countryside. Horsley is predominantly residential and, because of its attractive location in the Tyne Valley, pleasant rural character and proximity to the A69, has become a popular commuter village. The Lion and Lamb is a popular public house in the village together with a thriving community which includes The Hearth at Horsley, a group of artist’s studios, café and community hall, and an antiques centre while Matfen Hall and Close House offer excellent leisure facilities. Nearby Wylam offers amenities including a supermarket and Post Office, pubs and restaurants.  The nearby city of Newcastle provides further comprehensive cultural, educational, recreational and shopping facilities. 

For schooling, the school catchment area for Horsley is the Ponteland schools system. Residents of Horsley receive free school transport (coach/taxi) to Ponteland schools from the County Council. In addition, Mowden Hall Preparatory School just outside Corbridge provides private education from nursery up to 13 years, and there are several private day schools in Newcastle.

For the commuter, the A69 provides good access to Newcastle Airport and City Centre, Carlisle and onward access to the A1 and M6. The rail station at Wylam provides regular links to both Newcastle and Carlisle, which in turn link to other main line services to major UK cities north and south. Newcastle International Airport and the A1 are all within easy reach.
