Snitter is a small, sparsely populated rural parish in the northern reaches of Northumberland, England, set among rolling farmland and stone-built farmsteads. The surrounding landscape gives way towards the hills and moorland of the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland National Park, so it feels remote and scenic while still being within reach of market towns such as Alnwick and Wooler.
Economically and socially the area has long been shaped by agriculture - sheep and mixed farming dominate - and the community is small and close-knit, with a rural parish life centred on a handful of lanes and farms. Historic farmhouses and field patterns hint at a long agricultural past, and the parish attracts walkers and those seeking a quieter pace of life while relying on nearby towns for shops and services.
