Allendale Town b&b, guesthouse and hotel accommodation

Visit Allendale Town and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:

Allendale Town, Northumberland, claims to be the geographical centre of Great Britain. True or false, this is a splendid centre for getting to know the beautiful scenery of the moor-land district watered by the East and West Allen Rivers and Allendale to the North where the two streams meet. Allendale once was the market town for an important lead-mining area. It is 1,400 ft above sea-level and offers a variety of sport including trout fishing and skiing. Allen-dale keeps a pagan New Year’s Eve custom, well attended by outsiders. Twenty-four masked men, or guisers, march behind a band round the town, carrying barrels of blazing tar on their heads. A fire is lit in the large market place and the tar barrels are thrown upon it. Then the marchers and townspeople dance until midnight, when “first footing” begins. Described in the late 19th century as a “straggling, dreary looking place”, Allendale in recent years has spruced itself up and repeatedly won county contests for the best-kept village.
