About a 30m section of cobbles is being replaced in front of the market square on Front Street. The council have used a couple of different patterns for a trial period and now they are resurfacing and replacing the cobbles more permanently. This work was finished in late 2021 so you can now ride the section.

Alston good stop for food. A few cobbles so worth it on the bike too.

Honestly the cobbles are in a pretty sorry state. There are some good cafes in the village though
