Quaking Houses is an old mining village in County Durham; its housing is mainly terraced. The name is suspected to derive from the locale being settled originally by Quakers. The lowland heathland is an SSSI and work is ongoing under the auspices of Durham Wildlife Trust (early 2016) to preserve the vegetation type.
