Hotels, Guest accommodation & Self Catering in Stanley
Stanley is a proud former colliery town in County Durham. Centred on a hilltop between Chester-le-Street and Consett, the town also lies south-west of Gateshead. The main shopping area, Front Street, is pedestrianised, housing independent shops alongside larger chain stores. A market is held on Front Street on Thursdays and Saturdays. There are also supermarkets located within the town. The Louisa Centre contains various sport and leisure facilities including a fitness suite and 25-metre swimming pool. The Sustrans C2C Cycle Route, a 140-mile (230 km) bicycle route connecting Whitehaven on the west coast of Cumbria to Sunderland on England's north-east coast, passes along the southern boundary of Stanley. This is an ideal location for exploring Beamish Open Air Museum and Tanfield Railway. Stanley is only 25 minutes from Durham by car and 30 minutes drive from Newcastle Airport.
