Crook is a former market town in County Durham, not far to the south of the city of Durham itself. Originally a farming community, Crook quickly grew when coal mining took over the area, with 20 mines in the vicinity. This, however, declined rapidly, as did the town. Today it is redeveloping for a brighter future.

  Latest Crook Review

  The market town of Crook is located in County Durham, about 10 miles from the city of Durham itself. It has beautiful surrounding landscape and is not far from the peace and quiet of the countryside. There are some cosy B&Bs and hotels to choose from and it is an ideal base for exploring Durham. Visit Durham Cathedral and spend an evening in Durham Square where you will find a selection of excellent bars and restaurants.   - Simon H
