Wolsingham sits at the foot of Weardale in County Durham, where the valley opens out and the River Wear runs through the town centre. It’s the first main settlement you reach heading west from Bishop Auckland on the A689 — the same road that takes motorhomers deeper into the North Pennines AONB toward Stanhope and Alston. The town has a market place and a modest working character typical of the Weardale dales towns.
