About Us
The Nook is a farm shop, café and information centre based on the Epiacum Roman Fort site, 2 miles north of Alston, Cumbria on the Northumberland border, directly on the A689 road (Alston – Brampton). We opened Autumn 2019.
Cafe: Currently the cafe is closed because of the Covid-19 crisis. We decided to focus on the shop and bring some assistance to the local, rural community.
Farm shop: In the farm shop we sell home-reared beef and lamb and locally sourced produce.
