Welcome
Shepherds Dene reopened in May after extensive refurbishment to improve the facilities we can offer our guests. The special atmosphere of Shepherds Dene, great home cooking and warm welcome are just the same! We look forward to welcoming you back or greeting you for the first time.
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 is available for retreats, conferences, workshops, away days, pilgrimages, holidays and training events. It is also available for those seeking space and time to relax.
Our guided retreats in July are now fully booked but there are places on the Northern Saints Pilgrimage in August and we are booking for retreats with Alison White in September and Angela Ashwin in November.
