Waskerley, a quiet presence on the Durham moors, exhales a breath of open sky. It lies 8.0 km south-west of Consett (from Consett: bearing 226°T, OS grid NZ 050 454), and is situated south-west of Castleside village. The landscape here, a sweep of heather and rough pasture, often catches the muted light of the North East, casting long shadows that speak of the land's enduring character. Evidence of its industrial past, though softened by time, can still be sensed in the contours of the land and the quietude that now prevails. The air in Waskerley carries a certain stillness, a sense of distance from the clamour of larger towns, a characteristic that defines its enduring appeal.
