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.
