About Dawdon

Dawdon is a former pit village on the Durham coast, reached via the A19 and B1285 through Seaham. The A183 coastal road connects it to Sunderland and beyond, whilst the A19 provides links to Durham and the A1(M). With over 200 EV charging points nearby, it's well-served for electric vehicles. The old colliery's restored pithead baths, now an auto parts shop, stand as testament to its mining past.
