The rolling dales and moorland fringes define the character of Green Head. It lies 1.6 km west of Stanhope (from Stanhope: bearing 280°T, OS grid NY 977 396). Historically, Green Head was a small agricultural settlement, its existence intrinsically linked to the farming practices of Upper Weardale.
