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 National Landscapes, 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.
