Blackton Grange is a traditional stone built farmhouse enjoying fabulous views over the picturesque Teesdale Valley. Located at the head of a tranquil tributary valley, it nestles deep in the heart of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known to many as ‘England’s last wilderness.’ The peace, tranquility & isolation make the venue perfect for running any type of learning and development programme, conference or meeting. Groups who stay at Blackton Grange depart refreshed, refocused and re-energised, with a far greater knowledge and understanding of their respective subject matter than when they arrived. Teesdale is home to some of the country’s best walking and an absolute abundance of bird life. Our stunning location enables you to deliver educational visits amongst some of the most spectacular scenery in the land. We have experienced staff on hand to help and advise you in providing all types of events to link with the objectives you need to achieve. If you want it to be different and memorable, come and talk to us. Energetic groups can explore the stunning surroundings either on foot or by taking out one of the many mountain bikes we have on site. Can they work together effectively enough to complete the mountain bike challenge? People craving a little more activity can spend time kayaking, climbing, orienteering, abseiling or gorge walking. What better way of building a thirst and working up an appetite for a memorable Blackton Grange BBQ? All of our food is home prepared & cooked with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. No surprise that our cook never fails to receive a mention in post event feedback. We can also run the very popular ‘Team Cuisine’ experience where your guests manage the catering as part of their stay. They’ll learn a lot about each other when they have to fend for themselves, something you might want to incorporate into a visit. Sometimes it’s important to stay in touch with those at home so we have unlimited WiFi for you to use if the need arises. We also have separate meeting rooms for teaching or group work. Groups are guaranteed a fabulous and memorable experience when they stay at Blackton Grange. Our team is fuelled by a passion for delivering service excellence. We know that once you experience the benefits of a stay at Blackton Grange, you’ll be regular visitors. What does a typical school trip or educational visit include? See Above.
