About

Langwathby sits on the River Eden's eastern bank, with its large village green and historic stone bridge. To the east, the landscape rises into the fells of Kirkoswald parish, centred on its village with a castle and church overlooking the Croglin Water. The area is largely agricultural, defined by sheep farming and mixed woodlands.

The land ascends steeply south and east onto the high, open moorland plateau of Alston Moor. This is a distinct, mineral-rich territory of former lead mines, with the town of Alston positioned as England's highest market settlement. The South Tyne and its gorges cut through this exposed ground, with the narrow-gauge South Tynedale Railway following the river's course.
