The picturesque village of Wearhead is situated in the heart of upper Weardale, which is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is home to a primary school with a regular bus service linking the village with the rest of the dale. Hexham is one of the nearest towns which also benefits from a railway station and a good range of local amenities, Penrith is also an hours drive from Wearhead and is ideal for a perfect retreat to The Lake District.

A little further down the dale, the village of St John’s Chapel offers a basic range of amenities including a Doctor’s Surgery, Post Office, Co-op store and two traditional pubs. This village also has a primary school. Meanwhile, a more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in nearby Stanhope, or slightly further afield in Bishop Auckland or Barnard Castle, which offer a range of professional and leisure facilities. All of the major regional business centres can be easily accessed by road, and for those who commute further afield, there are main line railway stations available in Darlington and Durham, as well as international airports at Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
