The perfect base for adventures in the Durham Dales, Stanhope is a picturesque village. Accommodation is plentiful and there are a number of good places to eat and drink. The Durham Dales Centre offers a wealth of information about the surrounding countryside.

The peaceful River Wear makes for a relaxing amble, whilst the popular ford here features giant stepping stones. A petrified tree adorns the town’s churchyard. It is said to be 320 million years old.
