Weardale’s history and the lives of its people is very much entwined with its geology, and for a much greater knowledge we would encourage the visitor to go to Killhope The North of England Lead Mining Museum and The Weardale Museum at Ireshopeburn.

We need to go back to the Carboniferous period, over 300 million years ago, when vast layers of limestone and coal fractured by mineral veins were deposited, supporting centuries of mining and quarrying.

The Romans found galena and smelted lead while King Stephen’s nephew, Norman Prince Bishop Hugh de Puisey, in 1153 was granted the royal right of mining lead and silver in Weardale, a gift of lasting significance.

Weardale was part of the broad frontier with Scotland which the Prince Bishops had the power to protect by raising an army, including Weardale tenants, who joined Edward III’s army to fight the Scots in 1327. In return they were awarded customary rights.

When the bishopric estates were sold during the ‘Commonwealth’ under Cromwell, Bishop Auckland Palace and Weardale were purchased by Sir Arthur Hazelrigge. He mutilated the Bishops’ Palace and angered Weardale farmers by trying to raise rents and alter leases. The Weardale tenants united to oppose Hazelrigge and travelled to London to argue their case. The documents they assembled to support them were kept in the Weardale Chest at Warden Hill, Westgate, ready if the need arose to defend their ‘customary rights’.

Lead mining grew rapidly in the 18th century, scores of mines were sunk and hundreds of miners flocked to the dale. Many apparently led sinful lives leading John Wesley, the Methodist evangelist to visit frequently from 1752, when he first preached under a thorn tree in Ireshopeburn, near to which historic High House Chapel

now stands. Westgate became noted for ‘ranter preachers’ (all Hell and Damnation) and Bishop Shute Barrington, concerned about the decline in Church of England congregations, used uncollected royalties from lead mining to found schools and church halls.

The mining of lead and iron continued to flourish into the 19th century. Railways were needed to service the new iron industry, and an incredible railway line from South Shields to Stanhope across the open moors opened in 1834, an enterprise that almost bankrupted Robert Stephenson. Charles Attwood opened his Wolsingham Iron Works in 1864, making use of the North East Railway’s new line to Frosterley (1847) and Stanhope (1862) thus enabling the extraction of vast quantities of limestone for the steel industry. It wasn’t until 1895 that the Weardale Railway linked Bishop Auckland to Wearhead at the top of the valley. Before that the post and parcels had been taken from Stanhope to Wearhead by a mail coach ‘Rob Roy’ (below).

Lead-mining declined at the end of the 19th century because of cheap imports but were reopened later when a commercial use was found for the waste by-product, fluorspar. Limestone quarrying for the steel industry also ceased in the 1960s to be replaced in 1964 by the Blue Circle Cement Works at Eastgate; it was taken over by the French owners Lefarge but then closed in 2002.

The last mineral to be mined in Weardale was fluorspar used as a flux in steel making. The last mine, Grove Rake at Rookhope, closed in 1998 due to competition from China. Quarrying still occurs on a small scale basis mainly for road stone.

The legacy of our past is in our hillsides and can still be enjoyed in our buildings and on country walks. Our minerals are famous and can be found in gemshops around the world, but you don’t have to go that far to find them; just call in at Gemcraft at the Durham Dales Centre Stanhope, or see the mineral collections at Killhope and at the Weardale Museum.

A truly amazing little museum. The smallest in the North of England and run entirely by volunteers but you wouldn’t know it.

Variously called a “Tardis” or that “BIG! Little Museum” it is always looking to pack more into its small space. As well as its Weardale Miners’ Kitchen where all of the objects can be handled and examined, there is a lovely collection of local minerals, displays about the railway and lead-mining, a beautiful tribute to those who were lost in the Great War.

Did I mention the Weardale Tapestry - a 15 foot embroidery of the History of Weardale with over 200 fascinating stories told in stitches.

Then there is the genealogy resource for those with Weardale Ancestors, over 60,000 people in the database, and fascinating stories of some of them displayed for those who don’t have family connections.

Next door there is a heritage Methodist Chapel often visited by John Wesley himself and now the oldest Methodist Chapel to have had continuous weekly services. The story of the chapel, John Wesley and the Methodists is told in a downstairs room and the chapel is open for visitors.

This year the Museum has just added a ‘virtual museum’ to its collection. Objects from the North Pennines which have been lost to the area, in other Museums or private hands, brought together to be viewed on a touch screen. What will they think of next?

Bring your children and grandchildren to play with our toys or to try their hand with microscope and deerstalker investigating like Sherlock Holmes.


Places to go The Weardale Railway

Stations at Stanhope and Wolsingham Tel: : 07719 757755

Weardale is the heart of the North Pennines and is probably the least known major dale of the English uplands. The views are magnificent and unspoilt; the area is also known for its footpaths and bridleways, and the Weardale Railway will allow you to enjoy it all un-hindered by traffic. The railway also provides a useful base for walks between stations along the banks of the beautiful and gentle riverWear. Your journey will take you at a leisurely pace beside the river with magnificent views of the dale.

The Railway runs between Wolsingham and Stanhope from the beginning of April to the end of October.

Summer holiday - Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday

Other times - Weekends only

The Polar Express at Christmas

“Inspired by the run-away hit movie produced by Warner Bros. Entertainment and the award winning book by Chris Van Allsburg, this very special train ride from the USA returns to the UK in 2015. Join us in Weardale and make it your new annual Christmas family tradition. The Polar Express train ride makes a mystical round-trip journey to the North Pole. The characters of the story come to life with the conductor punching away at the golden tickets, chefs dancing and delivering hot chocolate and cookies, and the doubting hobo wandering through the train. The story is read aloud and the music from the movie plays for all the children to sing along.”

Walking


Walking is a great way to explore Weardale, the Durham Dales and The North Pennines to experience tranquillity, stunning countryside, magnificent views plus varied wildlife and flora.

Hundreds of miles of public footpaths, former industrial railway lines and quiet country lanes provide a huge range of walking opportunities, from peaceful family strolls to strenuous hill walking and long distance trails.

The North Pennines is a great walking destination. There’s everything from challenging long distance routes like Wainwright’s Pennine Journey and the nearby Pennine Way to gentle riverside rambles along the Weardale Way or up Slitt Wood at Westgate. You’ll find a good network of Public Rights of Way throughout the dale, integrated with the expansive rights of open access.

Leaflets and guides

A large number of walking guides are available for the area from The Durham Dales Centre Gift Shop , Stanhope, DL13 2FJ or as downloadable guides from www.exploreweardale.org.uk .

Winter Sports


The North Pennines has some of the best winter sport opportunities in England, with well established ski clubs in Weardale, Allenheads and Yad Moss. Both day skiing/snowboarding and annual memberships are available from the clubs. There are also great opportunities for cross-country skiing and winter walking.

Skiing and Snowboarding

The Weardale Ski Club, Swinhope Fell, Westgate, Grid ref OS Sheet 91 NY 895 343.

Weardale Ski Club is a small but vibrant club, with up to 750 members, offering skiing on real snow at Swinhope Moor above Westgate. Of course this cannot be guaranteed but most years the club manages a few days, often more than 14 and even as much as 45. The skiing suits most skiers and boarders of all abilities except the absolute beginner. It is often said that if you can ski all the slopes at Weardale you can manage just about anywhere! There are 2 button tows and up to 6 pisted runs, the rest of the area is not pisted. However when conditions are good, it is possible to ski almost anywhere. “Pisted” is a very loose description, as we do have a Piste Basher that pistes the runs, but they are rarely to the quality you would expect in the Alps!

Don’t forget if you do come, check conditions first, pack a shovel, your skis, park considerately and you may need snow tyres, chains or a 4x4.

You can join as a member at the website for a very reasonable annual fee, this is restricted to a maximum of 750 people. Alternatively you can come during the week and just pay for the day by downloading an entry form from the website.

Tel: 01388 317767

Yad Mass Ski Slope, Alston, Cumbria : Tel 01228 561634 www.yadmoss.co.uk

Picturesque Blanchland Blanchland is one of the most attractive villages in the North Pennines. Formed out of the medieval Blanchland Abbey property by Nathaniel Crew, 3rd Baron Crew, the Bishop of Durham, 1674-1722 it is a conservation village, largely built of stone from the remains of the 12th century Abbey. It features picturesque houses set against a backdrop of deep woods and open moors.

Blanchland flourished during the 19th century lead mining bonanza and the remains of Shildon Engine House can be seen nearby.

With a population of 140, its unspoilt qualities make it a frequent setting for period films set in the 18th century.

Derwent ReservoirDownstream from Blanchland the flow of the River Derwent is interrupted by the three mile long Derwent Reservoir. It was built in 1967 and is the second largest reservoir in Northumberland.

There is a choice of three excellent picnic sites on the bank of the reservoir - with trails (including new easy access paths), bird hides, nature reserves and fishing opportunities to entice you to stay a while longer.

Derwent Reservoir Sailing Club.

The 3.5 miles long reservoir has a thousand acres of beautiful clean and open water devoted entirely to windsurfing & sailing. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced competitor Derwent Reservoir Sailing Club provides a fantastic environment in which to enjoy and improve your sailing.

Northumbrian Water Fishing.

Derwent is a popular fishery with anglers liking the combination of lots of bank space and the chance to catch specimen trout weighing up to 20lbs. In addition coarse anglers, who enjoy quality roach fishing, can fish from the south shore and the dam wall.

Derwent is suitable for disabled anglers and visitors.

On site we have an excellent shop stocked with everything you need for a day’s fishing.

Non-fishers can enjoy our excellent picnic sites.

Jobs and Employment is the Weardale Action Partnership’s main priority.

Tourism is a major employer in Weardale and the local spend by visitors to the Dale helps to sustain many of our valued shops and services together with the people they employ.

Through our Bedroom Browsers the Weardale Visitor Network seeks to encourage visitors who are stopping over for a few days to support the local economy by using shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants as well as enjoying some of the attractions and activities which Weardale has to offer.

WVN is grateful for the financial assistance given by WAP to produce this browser.
