About

Alston and Fellside ward encompasses a significant rural portion of Westmorland and Furness, stretching from the outskirts of Penrith towards the high fells of the North Pennines. The area is characterised by scattered villages, isolated farmsteads, and expansive tracts of open moorland. The landscape is largely agricultural, with sheep farming being predominant, and is defined by the upper valleys of rivers like the Eden and its tributaries, which carve through the terrain.

The ward includes the historic market town of Alston, England's highest, which sits at the core of this upland area. Its cobbled main street and steep gradients are a direct result of its dramatic setting. The surrounding fells contain evidence of a once-thriving lead mining industry, with old spoil heaps and mining tracks still marking the slopes. This is a sparsely populated region where weather and remoteness have long shaped daily life.
