Local Town Description

Alston is a town in the North Pennines and is considered to be England's highest positioned market town. It is surrounded by hills, waterfalls, moorland and rivers to place it within some glorious scenery. The region is believed to be the inspiration for such poets and writers as W H Auden and with the atmosphere the area holds, it is easy to see why.

The area has some pleasant shops and craft galleries. The South Tyne Valley also has some stunning views and scenery which makes it ideal for walking and cycling. The Nenthead Mines Heritage Centre is also a fascinating day out that gives an insight into how the North Pennines became one of the wealthiest mining sites in Europe.

Customer Rating/Reviews

The conservatory was definitely a bonus as it seemed to get the sun at all times. The dining room with the wood burning fire was lovely too. The bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of storage. Author: Mrs Rankin, Bonnyrigg, Midlothian - Date of Stay: 08/2010
