Alston is the closest town to our guest house and claims to be the highest market settlement in England, being almost 1000 feet above sea level. It is also remote, about 20 miles from the nearest town. From every direction Alston is approached over a broad, heather-clad Pennine moorland landscape which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set on the upper reaches of the South Tyne, it lies within the Eden district of Cumbria.
Alston has a steep cobbled main street with a distinctive market cross, and many stone buildings dating from the 17th Century. Next to the entrance to the Church is a building dated 1681. The Angel pub to its left is dated 1611, and the white building left of the pub is dated 1687. It is a bustling town, with a reputation for delicious locally made specialities such as Cumberland Mustard, and Alston Cheese. Locally there are craft shops & galleries to visit, a narrow gauge railway, vintage museum and numerous local pubs. Alston has something for everyone!
