The small, rural parish of Knaresdale with Kirkhaugh in Northumberland centres on the hamlets of Knaresdale and Kirkhaugh. Set in a gently rolling river valley beside the River South Tyne, it is a patchwork of drystone walls, wooded banks and stone farmsteads that gives a sense of traditional Northumbrian countryside; the area is quiet and sparsely populated, popular with walkers and birdwatchers who come for the scenery and dark skies.
Agriculture - largely sheep and beef grazing - remains the backbone of the local economy, while community life is typical of small parishes, centred on the village church, occasional village events and volunteer groups. The parish’s position within easy reach of Hadrian's Wall and Northumberland National Park brings a modest amount of visitors and helps preserve a strong sense of place and historic landscape.
