PARISH COUNCIL

At Eggleston Parish Council in County Durham, we are dedicated to serving our community and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.

Gateway to the Dales, Heart of the Community

Introduction to the Parish

The view from Folly Bank, which lies to the east of Eggleston village, commands one of the finest views in the country, looking on to Upper Teesdale and the High Pennines.

Eggleston village lies just to the north of the B6282, which is the main road through Teesdale on the north side of the river Tees. Roads lead off Folly Top to Woodland, Staindrop and Barnard Castle and at the bottom of Folly Bank, south to Romaldkirk, Mickleton and west to Middleton in Teesdale and to the north to Stanhope. These junctions make Eggleston the crossroads to the area and therefore a gateway to the dales.
