Distance
1
Houses at Fair View, Burnhope
This street of houses runs along Langley Lane, on the south side of the village. They are probably post war ex council houses. At 235m (over 750 feet), on the top of the valley, this must be a bleak spot in winter. Good views though.

The first and last house in Burnhope
Burnhope was categorised as a "category D village" by Durham County Council. With the decline of coal-mining locally, 114 villages were classified in this way in 1951, and another seven in 1964. They were left to wither and die, without economic assistance or development. The policy ended in 1977, but many still have an old fashioned air, contrasting with newer areas of commuter housing.
