Tarset is a small, sparsely populated civil parish in west Northumberland, England. Set in the upland Border country, it comprises scattered farms and hamlets amid rolling moorland, forestry plantations and river valleys, making it a quiet spot popular with walkers and for wildlife watching.
Locally the economy is dominated by mixed hill farming and forestry, with a growing interest in rural tourism and holiday accommodation; the landscape and place-names still reflect the long history of the Borders and traditional estate and farming life. Socially it remains a dispersed, close-knit community with active conservation and parish-level activities rather than urban services.
