Scargill is a small, rural parish in County Durham, lying within the broad upland landscape of Teesdale on the fringes of the North Pennines. The area is characterised by rolling moorland, drystone walls and scattered stone farmsteads, with long views and a sparsely settled, agricultural feel that suits hill sheep farming and low‑intensity countryside pursuits.
Historically the parish has grown up around farming and occasional mineral working typical of the region, and today its economy and social life remain quietly rooted in community institutions, estate farms and seasonal visitors. It attracts walkers and nature‑lovers who appreciate the tranquillity and historic buildings, and the small population gives it a close‑knit, village atmosphere within England’s north‑eastern uplands.
