Allenheads is reputed to be England's highest village ( a fact which Nenthead may dispute!) and is another village with a lead mining history. The village has changed from a smog ridden mining centre into a restful hamlet almost entirely surrounded by pine trees with only a babbling brook to break the quiet. In 1985 the newspapers depicted Allenheads as an example of one of England's dying villages, this prompted the local population to form a trust to revitalise the village. They have done ,and still are doing this, exceptionally well. With various things to do and see such as mining exhibitions, a visitor centre , shop and the most eccentric public house you will ever see, Allenheads really is a must visit.
