Ponteland is notable for its Pele tower, George Hall, the Diamond Inn, its bridge, and the churches of St Mary's and St Matthew's. It is also notable for an affluent residential area, Darras Hall.
Ponteland previously boasted a small castle, which was destroyed by the Scottish army under the Earl of Douglas the day before the Battle of Otterburn.
The Blackbird Inn now stands on the site and is rumoured to contain an old tunnel connecting it to St Mary's church. The tunnel is supposedly bricked up behind the fireplace in The Tunnel Room.
