Ashgill is a scattered village of separated farmsteads and cottages along the uppermost stretches of the infant River South Tyne, on Alston Moor in the very west of Cumberland.
From Tynehead, the farmsteads bear such names as West Ashgill, High Ashgill, Middle Ashgill and finally Ashgillside, the latter standing where the Ash Gill itself tumbles over a waterfall, Ashgill Force, and drops to the South Tyne.
