Allendale Town is a small former lead‑mining community tucked into the Allen Valley in Northumberland, England. Set within the moorland and dales of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is dominated by traditional stone buildings and the winding River Allen, with a landscape of heather moors, scars from historic mining and good walking country.
Despite its rural feel, Allendale Town has a lively community life: local shops, galleries and pubs cater to residents and visitors, and the place is best known for quirky traditions such as the New Year “Tar Bar’l” barrel rolling and the annual show. Tourism, farming and small businesses now largely underpin the local economy, with the market town of Hexham serving as the nearest centre for wider services.
