Easington Village is a small coastal parish on the Durham coast in County Durham, set close to the North Sea. The settlement predates the industrial era and retains a compact, rural feel, with farmland and coastal clifftops nearby that attract walkers and birdwatchers along the heritage coastline.
Its history was shaped by the 19th and 20th-century coal industry and the social identity that grew around mining; today remnants of that heritage sit alongside a major modern landmark, the Easington Gas Terminal, which processes North Sea gas and is a significant local employer. The parish is characterised by a tight-knit community, local amenities centred on village life and ongoing efforts to balance conservation, commemoration of the mining past and economic regeneration.
