Bishop Auckland, a thriving market town in the Vale of Durham, stands high above the River Wear and enjoys stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is home to many historical attractions, while offering a vibrant shopping scene. Auckland Castle tells stories of the town's fascinating past as well as offering highly scenic walks. Shoppers can enjoy the Bishop Auckland Retail Park and the town's household name stores, while parents will be pleased to find schools rated Good and Outstanding by Ofsted nearby. For travel and commuting, Durham is only an 18 minute drive away, while Newcastle is around 42 minutes by car.
Those with children will have a choice of Ofsted rated schools, while commuters will appreciate the A1(M) and Bishop Auckland train station being within easy reach of home.
And for anyone who loves history, Auckland Castle and its park - believed to be 1,500 years old - are close by. With all this, plus plenty of green open space nearby, a new home at Bishops Park II could be for you.
