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, sidecar and kit cars. The Lake District National Park, considered one of England's most outstanding areas of natural beauty, serving as inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians, is 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. Alston town was also used in the making of Jane Ayre and Oliver Twist with its pretty original buildings and cobbled streets.
The town has a steeply rising cobbled high street and a distinctive market cross, which has a small fruit and vegetable stall four mornings a week. Other attractions are local craft shops which sell award winning jams and chutneys, and the artisan food shops where you can find a wide range of produce and an excellent range of cheeses, a lot are locally sourced, and accommodate dietary requirements and sell our local specialist Cumberland Mustard, made here in Alston. There is an outdoor shop in the market square, on the main street, two gift shops, a takeaway, Bistro, and bakery towards the top of the street. You will also find antique shops, a beautician, charity shop, library, hairdressers, doctors’ surgery and a Chemist. There is also a Co-op and the Spar, the Spar incorporates an excellent butcher’s shop which has a variety of fresh and cooked meats along with a petrol station.
For the keen walker, Alston is situated on the Pennine Way, South Tyne Trail, and Isaacs Tea Trail.
Between Alston and Melmerby, the road climbs the Hartside Pass to a height of 1904 ft, from where there are magnificent views across the Solway Firth to Scotland. This long and steep climb also forms part of the Coast-to-Coast Cycle Route.
