Map of the UK

Westwick is a small, quiet civil parish in County Durham, in the north-east of England. It sits in a gently undulating agricultural landscape of fields and hedgerows, with scattered stone farmsteads and cottages that reflect its long rural history.

Local life is typically low‑key and community‑oriented, with the economy centred on farming and many residents looking to nearby villages and market towns for services and social life; its narrow lanes and countryside appeal to walkers seeking a peaceful, unspoilt corner of the Durham countryside.
