Motorhome Stopovers in Chester-le-Street

Chester-le-Street is a market town in County Durham, sitting in the valley of the River Wear midway between Durham city and Gateshead. The A167 runs straight through it — a key route for motorhomers travelling the east side of the Pennines — and the A693 heads west toward Stanley and the Durham coalfield. The town has a long history, with Lumley Castle visible to the east and the riverside Riverside Cricket Ground, home to Durham County Cricket Club, a notable local landmark.
