Burtree Ford

Burtree Ford lies in upper Weardale along the B6293, reached via the A689 from Stanhope. This remote North Pennines settlement sits amongst former lead mining country, with harsh upland weather and sparse facilities. About 14 fast EV chargers serve the wider Weardale area. The village takes its name from the ancient river crossing where pack trains once forded Burnhope Burn carrying lead ore from the fells.
