About Woodhouses

Woodhouses, a quiet collection of homes, rests against the gentle slopes of County Durham. It lies 2.7 km south-west of Bishop Auckland (from Bishop Auckland: bearing 226°T, OS grid NZ 188 280), and is situated south of Escomb village. The air here, often carrying the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, seems to hold a particular stillness, as if time itself has paused to observe the slow unfolding of the seasons. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, trace the boundaries of fields that have been worked for generations, their colours shifting from the emerald of spring to the burnished gold of late summer. The quality of the light, when it breaks through the often-overcast skies, can be remarkably tender, bathing the modest dwellings and their gardens in a soft, diffused glow. There is a sense of enduring continuity in Woodhouses, a quiet strength drawn from the land and the simple continuity of life.
