Alston is the highest market town in England and to the east of Hartside Cafe. It is a popular stopping point for touring bikers who are brave enough to tackle the cobbled main street!

Situated in Cumbria, just across the Northumberland Border.

An array of picturesque streets greet you and there are plenty of places to stop for a cup of char before continuing your journey. If you're stopping for longer there are plenty of antique shops and galleries.
Also there is a petrol station in Alston, for those of you who are visiting the Cafe, at Hartside.

If you are planning a holiday or short break in or around the Alston area, there are plenty of attractions close by - and don't forget the Biker Friendly Accommodation Directory to find the perfect place to spend the night!
