Eggleston County Durham Map

About Eggleston

Eggleston breathes the quiet air of Teesdale, a place where the landscape itself seems to hold its breath. It lies 8.8 km north-west of Barnard Castle (from Barnard Castle: bearing 322°T, OS grid NY 999 239), and is situated north-north-east of Romaldkirk village. The River Tees, a ribbon of silver in the midday sun, carves a gentle path through the surrounding fields, its murmur a constant companion to the village's unhurried existence. Ancient stone farmhouses, their roofs the colour of heather, stand testament to generations who have worked this fertile ground. The modest church, St. Mary's, guards the village centre, its spire a slender finger pointing towards the vast, often cloud-swept, skies of the North Pennines. Smallholdings and farms still define the economic pulse of Eggleston, their cattle and sheep dotting the emerald pastures, a familiar sight against the backdrop of rolling hills.
