Winston County Durham Map

About Winston

Winston breathes the quiet air of County Durham, a place where stone walls hold the memory of passing centuries. It lies 8.6 km east of Barnard Castle (from Barnard Castle: bearing 92°T, OS grid NZ 140 167), and is situated south-east of South Cleatlam village. The River Gaunless, a slender silver thread, winds its way through the surrounding fields, its banks a verdant promise under the wide, often dramatic, North East sky. Ancient hedgerows, tangled with the wildness of ages, delineate the patchwork of farmland, their branches catching the fleeting sunlight like a filigree of gold. The village itself, a cluster of solid houses, seems to hunker against the elements, its church spire a patient finger pointing towards the heavens. A sense of enduring quietude pervades Winston, a stillness that allows the rustle of leaves and the distant bleating of sheep to speak volumes.
