The Black Bull Hotel is a traditional Northumbrian Inn, situated in the pretty village of Wark. Visitors to the Hotel will find themselves surrounded by the fantastic scenery of the beautiful Tyne Valley, and indeed only a stones throw away from one of the wider stretches of the Upper River Tyne.
Wark was once the capital of North Tynedale and its central location is ideal for exploring this wonderful area. The Black Bull Hotel is perfectly situated for visitors to the area to sample the delights the area has to offer like Kielder Water, Hadrian’s Wall Country, Hexham and Kelso Race Courses, The Scottish Borders and Northumberland’s National Park all of which are easily accessible.
The Black Bull is an ideal stop for cyclists and walkers, a popular place to quench your thirst and re-fuel with some hearty home cooked food. Take a well deserved break and relax in our garden or patio area while enjoying the fresh Northumbrian air. Your hosts Sylvia and Ray will ensure you receive the warmest of Northumbrian welcomes and encourage a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
