About

Wingate sits on the eastern side of County Durham as a former coal-mining village. Streets of terraced houses, a village hall and local shops reflect its 19th- and 20th-century growth around the pit. Remnants of former pit infrastructure and a small cluster of memorials recall that history, and the village supports a primary school, sports pitches and community clubs. Road links and regular bus services connect Wingate to the wider county while local lanes lead into surrounding farmland and hedgerows.

Castle Eden is centred on a small village and the River Eden, which has cut Castle Eden Dene, a deep wooded valley now managed as a national nature reserve. The dene rests on magnesian limestone and sustains woodland species and spring carpets of bluebells; steep-sided banks, old stone bridges and small tributary streams are visible along public footpaths that follow the river. Open fields and lanes around the village provide further walking routes and places where farmland, hedgerow and dene meet, offering scope for local wildlife observation.
