Carrshield is a village in West Allen parish, Northumberland, England. It lies in the Pennines between Penrith and Hexham. It is a small village with an old school building in the centre of the village. The school was built in 1851 and is now three houses. Carrshield is surrounded by fell ground and is littered with old disused mines. Remnants of the old stone works where the lead was mined can still be seen next to the river.
