Sinderhope is a village situated on the east Allen Valley in south-west Northumberland. The population is spread over farms in an area approximately 25 square miles (65 km²). The population is around 80. The mainstay of employment is sheep-farming.

Wildlife is plentiful with many examples of rare birds of Great Britain, such as the black grouse, capercaillie, whimbrel and curlew. The local beauty spot is a ford with wild flowers and a wood. The area is known as "old man's bottom" for reasons that are unknown.

The whole area is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
