Coxhoe is an electoral ward in County Durham, England, centred on the village a few miles east of Durham. It sits where former industrial terraces meet open farmland and green lanes, giving easy access to local countryside while remaining within commuting distance of larger towns.
The area has a strong coal‑mining heritage from the 19th and early 20th centuries, which shaped much of the local built environment; since pit closures the economy has moved towards small local businesses and commuting, with community groups active in preserving history and organising events. Local landmarks include the remains of historic houses such as Coxhoe Hall, parks, schools and sports clubs, and the ward retains a close‑knit, largely residential character with an emphasis on community life.
