Headlam is a small, rural parish in County Durham, lying in the Tees valley a few miles west of Darlington. The landscape is gently rolling farmland with views towards the foothills of the North Pennines and easy access to the River Tees, giving the area a quietly scenic, agricultural character.
Historically the settlement is centred on a notable country house and estate, and the parish today combines farming with a degree of hospitality and leisure use linked to the hall and surrounding countryside. It has a small, close-knit community and is valued for its stone-built vernacular, sense of history and peaceful rural setting rather than any heavy industry or large-scale development.
