Historically, until the early 1800’s, Seaham was a small agricultural community. The area’s fortune took an upward turn when the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry bought up the Millbank Estate and built the harbour to enable export of local produce. Later, after 1845 the first coal mining activity was recorded and the harbour was significantly extended to cope with the volume of coal being exported. This was opened in 1905 and now evokes particular interest as it has a series of interconnecting locks rather than the typical two wall construction.

The harbour wall is a sought after spot for keen sea fishermen and numerous rock pools are scattered along the coast line for explorers, adults and children alike. The beaches have undergone an extensive restoration process and are now returned to their former glory following designation as a Heritage Coast. The Durham Coastal Footpath is a superb 11 mile walking route from Seaham to Crimdon leading through stunning clifftop scenery.
