Crawley Hall lies to the east of the B6278 at Crawleyside which is half a mile north of Stanhope. From the south facing house there are far reaching views across Weardale to open moorland and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 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. Durham city is 20 miles and Newcastle upon Tyne 26 miles.
