About

Blackhall sits on the North Sea coast, characterised by its exposed cliffs and a long, straight beach. The area is defined by its industrial past, with former colliery land now reclaimed as part of the Durham Heritage Coast. The landscape is a mix of coastal grassland and the visible marks of its mining history.

The rhythm of the area is tied to the sea and the coastal footpath. A notable local feature is Blackhall Rocks, a stretch of coastline where limestone cliffs and wave-cut platforms are exposed at low tide. The residential streets are arranged in terraces, leading directly down to the coastal views.
