Beautifully tucked away admist the Durham Dales is the village of Westgate. It is named as it was the western entrance to the Bishop of Durham's vast hunting park and it is easy to see why such nobility would want to spend time in this delightful countryside.

A popular walk from the village is to follow the Middlehope Burn into the ancient Slitt Wood, where there are a number of picturesque waterfalls. Afterwards, the Hare and Hounds is the perfect place to grab a drink or enjoy a pub dinner.
