South Bedburn is a small, sparsely populated rural parish set in the rolling uplands of the Durham Dales in County Durham, England. The landscape is a mix of drystone walls, moorland and improved pastures cut by small becks such as Bedburn Beck, with views towards the higher ground of the Pennines and easy access to popular outdoor areas like Hamsterley Forest and the wider Weardale valley.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, dominated by sheep and cattle farming, with a modest contribution from forestry and rural tourism - walkers and riders come for the quiet lanes and rights of way. Historic traces of the county’s industrial past can be found nearby in old mine workings and limekilns, while the social life of the area revolves around scattered hamlets and community events in neighbouring villages rather than a central settlement.
