Seaham Garden VillageSt Modwen HomesCounty Durham is a unitary authority area in North East England, governed by Durham County Council. It covers the ceremonial county of the same name apart from Darlington, Hartlepool and the part of Stockton-on-Tees north of the River Tees. The wider county borders Northumberland and Tyne and Wear to the north, the North Sea to the east, North Yorkshire to the south and Cumbria to the west.
Durham is its only city, built on a meander of the River Wear, where the cathedral and castle together form a World Heritage Site. Durham University is based there. The towns include Chester-le-Street, Consett, Stanley, Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Spennymoor, Peterlee and Seaham, with Barnard Castle the main town in the west. Many collieries once worked the Durham coalfield, a history remembered each year at the Durham Miners' Gala.
The west is upland: part of the North Pennines, a national landscape, where the rivers Tees and Wear rise before flowing east through Teesdale and Weardale. The fells are hillwalking country, with heather moorland on the lower slopes. In the east, the Durham Heritage Coast has cliffs, headlands and beaches, followed by an 11-mile coastal path, and wooded denes run inland. Castle Eden Dene is a National Nature Reserve with 12 miles of footpaths.
Durham station is on the East Coast Main Line between London King's Cross and Edinburgh, with trains to York, Darlington and Newcastle, and services across the Pennines to Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool. The A1(M) passes just east of the city.
