The village of Stanhope offers a wide range of services including shops, doctors surgery and a primary school and is an increasingly popular tourist destination adjoining the banks of the River Wear. The A689 provides access east to Wolsingham (6 miles) before joining the A68 trunk road (10 miles) which leads north to Corbridge and the Tyne Valley and south towards Darlington and the A1.
