Alnham : Location and Topography

The village of Alnham lies at the head of Alndale in west-central Northumberland, on the eastern edge of the Northumberland National Park.

Alnham today comprises three farms, now partially disused, and a string of small cottages along the road heading southeast towards Scrainwood, all within a mile of the church and the refurbished tower house situated adjacent to the earthworks of the medieval settlement.

The River Aln flows through the village on its way eastward from its source in Cheviot Hills to the west of the settlement, down to the coast.
