  • “A lovely peaceful location in a ...”

    A lovely peaceful location in a beautiful house. We had plenty of space for our party of 11. Fantastic views over the hills with loads of walks in the vicinity. Louise, the owner, was very helpful and readily available to respond to any queries. We would love to return in the not too distant future. A great family house.

About the location

EASTGATE

Stanhope 3 miles; Bishop Auckland 19 miles; Barnard Castle 20 miles; Durham 28 miles.

Eastgate is a small village in Weardale, County Durham, popular for walking and cycling. The village once marked the eastern boundary of Stanhope Park, the scene of many grand historical hunting expeditions. The village is also famed for being the birthplace of Emerson Bainbridge, founder of the world’s first department store. Eastgate is set in rural countryside and is home to a pub/restaurant, historic church, Roman altar and hidden waterfall; further amenities can be found in the village of Stanhope, three miles away. Stanhope is described as the "Capital of Weardale" as it occupies a sheltered position on the north side of the Wear at the confluence of the river and the Stanhope burn. Stanhope is home to the Durham Dales Centre, offering tourist information, local craft and gem stones for sale and a coffee shop. In addition it offers places to eat and drink, art galleries, specialist gift shops, boutiques and food and wine stores. There is also a heated open-air swimming pool open during the summer months and picturesque riverside walks. The Polar Express Christmas train route commences from Stanhope and is proving to be extremely popular from November to January each year. The town is also midway on the route of the Weardale Way which can be walked from Killhope in the west to Wolsingham to the east. Cycling is extremely popular with Weardale being en route for the coast-to-coast route from Whitehaven to Tynemouth. The upper dale also hosts the "Rooftop of ENgland" cycling race. The "Kynren" spectacular, an epic tale of England set in the grounds of Auckland Castle in Bishop Auckland is within easy reach. Durham and its renowned historic castle and cathedral, Beamish Open Air Museum, Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle, Killhope Lead Mining Museum, Weardale Museum, Hamsterley Forest, Newcastle Sage and MEtro Centre are all within easy reach..
