County Durham History
The County Durham history pages cover the coast to the east and the dales to the west: Teesdale, Weardale and the Derwent Valley. It is a county historically ruled by Prince Bishops who lived like kings ‘twixt, Tees and Tyne’. These pages also cover some of the lesser-known valleys and vales such as the Deerness and Browney to the west and north west of Durham City and Cassop Vale to the east as well as the River Skerne which drains the untypically flat ‘carr land’ to the south on its way to Darlington in the Tees Valley.
