When staying at Carrshield Camping Barn there is always something to do, a short drive away to Alston will bring you to the South Tynedale Railway. A preserved 2-foot narrow gauge railway that is the second highest in England along the route of the old Alston to Haltwhistle line that was built in the mid-1800. By planning your day, it is possible to visit a Roman hill fort overlooking the valley, three different cafes and take a cooling dip into the South Tyne River.
