Neighborhood
Westgate is a small village in the heart of the North Pennines. It has a church, St. Andrew's, a village hall, and a pub - The Hare and Hounds - which brews its own beer and serves evening meals.
Slit Wood, an ancient woodland to the north of the village, is a place of peace and relaxation. It follows the Middlehope Burn and provides one of Weardale's favourite walks with a series of attractive waterfalls and over 100 varieties of wild flower during the spring and summer.
The market town of Stanhope can be found six miles away from Westgate. This is a picturesque haven for visitors seeking rest and relaxation amidst beautiful surroundings; the peaceful waters of the River Wear provide an idyllic backdrop for those who enjoy being outdoor and active too, with the ford at Stanhope a popular location where walkers can cross the river using giant stepping-stones.
Don't miss the opportunity to see the famous fossil tree which is approximately 320 million years old, or visit the 12th Century church of St Thomas.
You can also hop on board the Weardale Railway at Stanhope station. This 18-mile heritage railway line takes you on a journey through stunning scenery and connects to nearby market towns including Wolsingham and Bishop Auckland.
