Alnham is a small, remote upland parish in Northumberland, England, tucked into the upper valley of the River Aln on the edge of the Cheviot Hills. It is characterised by scattered stone-built farms and cottages, narrow lanes and expanses of moorland and pasture, giving it a quiet, windswept feel more typical of the border country than lowland villages.
The area is of particular interest for its historic and archaeological features: visible medieval earthworks and the remains of an earlier settlement and field systems reflect a long agricultural history. The local economy is largely pastoral - sheep and cattle farming - while walkers, birdwatchers and anyone interested in rural history are drawn to the landscape and the well-preserved traditional buildings that give the parish its distinctive character.
