Gilesgate Moor County Durham Map

About Gilesgate Moor

Sunlight, when it finds Gilesgate Moor, often spills over the slight rise of land with a gentle, spreading warmth. It lies 2.4 km east of Durham (from Durham: bearing 83°T, OS grid NZ 293 429), and is situated north-west of Sherburn House village. The houses here, a mix of early 20th-century semis and more modern dwellings, often have gardens that reach towards the open sky, their lawns catching the light in broad, green swathes. A sense of quiet occupation pervades Gilesgate Moor, a place where the day unfolds with a natural, unforced cadence, the distant hum of traffic a low counterpoint to the rustle of leaves. The very air here seems to hold a certain clarity, a clean, open quality that speaks of the surrounding countryside.
