Knarsdale Northumberland Map

About Knarsdale

Knarsdale nestles into the Northumberland landscape, a quiet testament to the enduring spirit of the North Tyne valley. It lies 8.4 km north-north-west of Alston (from Alston: bearing 332°T, OS grid NY 677 539), and is situated north of Slaggyford village. The hamlet’s scattered dwellings, often built of local stone that weathers to a soft grey, seem to absorb the subtle shifts in the sky above the surrounding fells. A sense of ancient husbandry pervades the fields, their green hues deepened by the perpetual moisture of the northern air. The River Knar, a lively ribbon of water, carves its way through the land, its murmur a constant companion to the scattered farmsteads. Here, the light often possesses a pearly luminescence, softening the edges of the world and lending a contemplative mood to the stark beauty of the moorland.
