About

The Coxhoe and Quarrington Hill area sits on the eastern edge of County Durham's coalfield. The landscape is defined by rolling farmland and former limestone quarries, with the villages situated on elevated ground. This history of mineral extraction has shaped the local economy and physical environment. The area provides residential settlements within proximity to larger towns like Durham and Peterlee, serving as a base for commuting.

A notable local landmark is the prominent Quarrington Hill, a distinctive limestone outcrop visible for miles. Remnants of the quarrying industry, including old kilns, are scattered throughout the area. Footpaths traverse the countryside, connecting to the wider network of public rights of way across the Durham plateau. The settlements maintain a separate identity from the neighbouring city, with their own local facilities and community events.
