ALWINTON PARISH COUNCIL
Alwinton Parish is one of the largest parishes in the Cheviot Hills. The main settlements within the parish are: Alwinton, Barrowburn; Blindburn; Linbriggs; Makendon and Shilmoor.
Population: <100
It is almost entirely upland reaching from the Scottish Border at Chew Green in the west to Alwinton in the east, and from the Auchope Cairn on The Cheviot in the north to the edge of the River Rede in the south. Most land is given over to sheep-grazing, army training on the Otterburn Training Area, and coniferous forests. In places, the parish boundary uses well-defined lines such as the Scottish Border, Clennell Street drovers' road and Dere Street.(Ref: Keys to the Past).
