With some of the UK’s most revered coastlines within easy reach, Peterlee is the perfect base for immersing yourself in natural North East beauty. While the Durham Heritage coast is just a short drive from the centre, there are plenty of other green spaces surrounding the town, such as the Castle Eden Dene Nature Reserve, home to the Blunts Beck waterfall.
Voted as one of the best places to live in County Durham by Northern Echo readers, Peterlee and the East Durham area benefit from a community of local cafes, gastro pubs and boutiques. The Castle Dene shopping centre has lots of firm retail favourites, while the nearby Dalton Park outlet is loved by fashion fans with a designer taste.
Connected by rail via Horden station, as well as by reliable bus services, Peterlee is perfect for commuters. It’s easy to visit major cities such as Newcastle and Durham for those special weekend day trips, where you’ll find plenty of bars, restaurants and cultural attractions such as the Gala Theatre and Cinema and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. You’ll never run out of new things to try or do when moving to Peterlee.
Young families can be confident that there are lots of Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ schools in the area, including Cotsforth Primary School and East Durham College. The nearby Tweddle Children’s Animal Farm will also provide lots of learning opportunities, as well memories to make!
