    High up in Weardale, Wearhead is where the Burnhope Burn and Killhope Burn merge to form the River Wear, one of the North East's great rivers. The surrounding countryside is sumptuous walking territory, right in the beating heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    To the west of the village is Burnhope Reservoir, which makes for a lovely loop. Meanwhile, some of the highest land in County Durham is within hiking distance, including county high point Burnhope Seat at 2,451 feet (747 m).
