Sipton is located just under 4 miles south of Allerdale Town and half mile north of Spartylea in Northumberland. It is situated by Sipton Burn, near its confluence with the River East Allen. There are a few farms nearby, including Low Sipton Shield and High Sipton Shield. In the past was the location of a lead mine - Sipton Mine. Sipton Terrace is a row of occupied houses here, which were built in association with the mine. There are still a few disused mining buildings remaining, including the old Powder House. Sipton Bridge carries the B6295 road over Sipton Burn here. There is also a packhorse bridge over the burn nearby. Sipton is within Allerdale Civil Parish and in the North Pennines AONB.
