Killhope
Killhope perches high in the North Pennines where County Durham meets Northumberland, accessible via the A689 from Stanhope through dramatic fell country. This former lead mining settlement sits at 1,500 feet, with narrow roads connecting scattered communities like Nenthead and Cowshill. The North of England Lead Mining Museum operates from a restored Victorian mine, featuring a working waterwheel that still crushes ore exactly as it did 150 years ago.
