Local Information

Garrigill is a small rural village in Cumbria, England, within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb) - a scenic upland area of valleys, moorland and rivers. It sits on the River South Tyne close to its source and is part of the civil parish of Alston Moor under Westmorland & Furness Council.

For everyday living, Garrigill has a few basic local services. A traditional post office and village store, long regarded as a community hub. One village pub (the George & Dragon) - a social meeting point when open. St John’s Church and a village hall, which hosts local events and gatherings.

The nearest wider amenities are in Alston (~4 miles / ~6 km away).

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. The Lake District National Park, considered one of England's most outstanding areas of natural beauty, serving as inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians, in only 20 miles to the west.

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 very distinctive market cross, which has a small fruit and vegetable stall four mornings a week.
