Welcome

Shepherds Dene provides the space to think, the chance to grow  and walk more closely with God.   It is a spiritual  place for peace and silence and sometimes  for fun and celebration as well. Join us on one of the retreats and events in 2010, or contact us to book Shepherds Dene for away days, retreats and weekends.  We also welcome individual guests seeking a day to work in peace and quiet or a few days rest. 

"The stillness within myself that I found at Shepherds Dene is still with me and I rejoice and am thankful to you for your ministry"
 
 
"We had a brilliant day on Friday and thank you for allowing us to use your lovely venue."

Shepherds Dene is the Retreat House for the Dioceses of Newcastle and Durham. Beautifully situated in the Tyne Valley in rural Northumberland, the grade II listed building and estate seem hardly changed from Edwardian days but offers up to date comfort and good home cooking. We welcome guests of all demoninations and those without a faith who share our purpose of seeking and discovering in these special surroundings.
