Croxdale and Hett sit in the rolling countryside of County Durham, a few miles south of Durham. The area combines tidy agricultural land and pockets of woodland with a handful of historic buildings, giving a distinctly rural feel while being within easy commuting distance of the city.
Historically the locality has links to country estates and to the region’s mining past, with visible reminders in former miners’ rows and estate buildings such as the notable Croxdale Hall and its associated church. Today the communities are small and close‑knit, with village halls, local events and a mixed economy of farming, local services and residents who work in nearby towns.
