Carterway Heads lies where the land begins its slow, thoughtful rise towards the Northumberland heights. It lies 6.4 km west of Consett (from Consett: bearing 278°T, OS grid NZ 044 517), and is situated east-north-east of Edmundbyers village. The hamlet itself seems to hold a quiet dignity, its stone cottages reflecting the pale, often luminous sky that stretches across this open country. A sense of enduring resilience, perhaps born from the very soil, seems to emanate from Carterway Heads, a place where the wind carries whispers of sheep and distant industry. The air here often tastes of peat and damp earth, a truthful scent of the wildness that still presses close.
