Welcome to New Brancepeth

New Brancepeth is a small village located in County Durham, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles to the northwest of the city of Durham. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 19th century when it was a thriving mining community. The village was home to several coal mines, which provided employment to the local population. However, the mines were closed in the 1960s, and the village has since transformed into a peaceful residential area.

Despite its small size, New Brancepeth has a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a community center, and a local pub. The community center hosts various events throughout the year, including a Christmas fair, a summer fete, and a Halloween party. The local pub, The Newhouse, is a popular spot for residents to gather and socialize. The pub serves traditional pub food and hosts live music events on weekends.

New Brancepeth is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it an ideal location for outdoor activities. The village is located near the River Wear, which is popular for fishing and kayaking. The nearby Durham Dales offer stunning views and are perfect for hiking and cycling. The village is also located near several golf courses, including the Durham City Golf Club and the Brancepeth Castle Golf Club. Overall, New Brancepeth is a charming village with a strong sense of community and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities.
