Pelton County Durham Map

About Pelton

Pelton, a quiet corner of County Durham, holds a certain stillness. It lies 2.5 km north-west of Chester-le-Street (from Chester-le-Street: bearing 309°T, OS grid NZ 254 532), and is situated north-north-east of Pelton Fell village. The land here, gently rolling, often catches the low afternoon sun, casting long shadows that lengthen across the fields, a quiet testament to the passage of days. Its past is tied to the earth, the coal seams that once ran deep beneath its surface shaping its character and the lives of its people. Though the pits are long gone, a resilience remains, an echo of industry in the sturdy brickwork of older houses. The air, especially after rain, carries a clean, earthy scent, a reminder of the surrounding agricultural land that continues to sustain the region.
