Settlement Character Study: Crook
-
Description
Design and Conservation Team, Durham County Council, 2025. ".....he areas of substantial land surrounding much of the town provides a scenic rural background and is important in promoting the ‘market town’ atmosphere of the settlement. The large village green which slopes down to Crook Beck remains with the hillsides behind the buildings largely undeveloped and plays an essential part in imparting and maintaining a distinctly rural quality. Open agricultural land is situated to the north and south of Church Hill and forms an important green buffer framing the central part of the town. Other open spaces are of a less formal nature and frame individual buildings and terraces. Views form a significant part of the character of the town, not least of these are the panoramic roof top views afforded from the top of Church Hill over the entire town allowing it to be appreciated in its widest rural landscape context. These views extend to Weardale beyond...." -
