Bishop Middleham is a small village and civil parish in County Durham, set in rolling farmland of northeast England. The surrounding landscape includes old limestone workings and calcareous grassland that support a surprising diversity of wildflowers and butterflies, and the village sits within easy reach of larger centres for work and services.
The settlement has medieval roots and a long association with the bishops of Durham, and retains a cluster of traditional stone cottages and an historic feel. Historically agricultural, the local economy now mixes farming with people who commute to Durham, Darlington and the wider Teesside area, while a strong village community is sustained by clubs, events and a village hall.
