About

Crook North & Tow Law sits on the western edge of County Durham's former coalfield, characterised by elevated terrain and open moorland. The settlements are shaped by a history of deep coal mining and ironstone extraction, with former colliery sites and rows of terraced housing defining the landscape.

The area is marked by the presence of the world's oldest surviving iron railway bridge, a stone-arched structure built in 1727 to carry horse-drawn wagons. Wind farms now dot the high ground, a modern feature on this historic industrial ground.
