Bishop Auckland is a small market town, which grew around the Bishop Of Durham’s favourite country residence. It is the site of Auckland Castle – home of the Bishops of Durham since Norman times. It was converted into a castle by Bishop Bek around 1300 A.D. and it has one of the largest private chapels in Europe.
Bishop Auckland lies in the County of Durham, almost small enough to enjoy on foot yet so exceptional that its cathedral and castle are designated a World Heritage Site.
Uncrowded roads lead to unspoilt countryside, including some of the highest, wildest and finest scenery in England. Much of the west of the County, the Durham Dales, is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Teesdale, Weardale and the Derwent Valley offer excellent opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking and angling.
