About

The high rolling hills of Alston Moor separate two deep valleys which hold the upper reaches of the River South Tyne and the waters of the River Nent. They are both a delight to explore, particularly by bike, as they are endowed with quiet roads and lanes that traverse differing levels allowing both intimate and far reaching views.
