Motorhome Stopovers in Stanley
Stanley is a former pit town in northwest County Durham, sitting on high ground between the Derwent valley to the south and the River Wear to the north. The A693 runs through the town, connecting it to the A1(M) to the east and giving access to the Derwent Valley towards Consett and beyond. Beamish — the renowned open-air museum — is just a couple of miles to the southeast, making this a popular area for motorhomers visiting one of the northeast’s biggest attractions.
