Local Information
Cumbria is often said to be the most beautiful county in England. Historically part of Cumberland, Alston being about 1000 feet above sea level is the highest market town in England and lies within the North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by stunning views of the surrounding fells and the South Tyne Valley. The surrounding moorland has diverse flora and fauna and provides an abundance of wild and rare animals and is home to the endangered red squirrel and many types of birds of prey.
Alston was once described as being in the middle of nowhere and the middle of everywhere. It is only 18 miles to Penrith, 20 miles to Ullswater in the Lake District, 23 miles to Hexham and 25 miles to Hadrian's Wall. Newcastle is only 45 miles away.
Alston has access to two ski slopes at Yad Moss and Allenheads, both with tows. The road linking Alston with Penrith and the Lakes is Hartside and is one of the top 10 best roads for biking. The Lake District National Park, considered one of England's most outstanding areas of natural beauty, serving as inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians, in only 20 miles to the west.
Home to the South Tynedale Railway, the highest narrow-gauge railway in Britain and The Hub motor museum both served by a tearoom on the station platform offering delicious freshly prepared food. Alston has great selection of Inns, Shops, Cafes, Restaurants and Scenic Walks over Fells, Riverside, hidden Waterfalls and historical industrial sites and museums from the lead mining era.
