Garrigill

Garrigill perches high in the North Pennines at over 1,000 feet, a former lead mining village in Cumbria's remote South Tyne valley. Reach it via the A689 from Alston (6km) or the scenic B6277 route from Teesdale, with the M6 at Penrith your nearest motorway link 45km away. About 7 EV charging points serve the wider area. The village green retains its traditional stocks and maypole for annual May Day festivities.
